WEBVTT 00:00.510 --> 00:04.139 - IF YOU WANT MORE VISIONS, DREAMS, YOU WANT GOD'S VOICE TO 00:04.139 --> 00:08.099 SPEAK TO YOU, YOU WANT TO HEAR GOD, YOU WANT TO SPEAK FOR GOD, 00:08.099 --> 00:13.410 YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN DETERMINATION AND LIFESTYLE THAT 00:13.410 --> 00:18.539 YOU ANSWER THE CALL, THAT YOU ARE A HEAVENLY MINDED, YOU ARE 00:18.539 --> 00:23.160 DRIVEN FOR THE THINGS OF GOD AND YOU'RE NOT ALWAYS JUST PUTTING 00:23.160 --> 00:26.789 YOUR HEAD INTO WHATEVER THE MEDIA IS SAYING AND ALL THE 00:26.789 --> 00:28.527 NEGATIVE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON. 00:28.527 --> 04:29.168 (MUSIC) 04:32.271 --> 09:31.904 (MUSIC) 09:31.950 --> 09:35.190 - WELL, GOOD EVENING, LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH. HOW'S EVERYBODY 09:35.190 --> 09:40.799 DOING TONIGHT? IS EVERYBODY AWAKE? I HEARD WE HAD CHICKEN 09:40.799 --> 09:43.169 AND WE HAD POTATO SALAD, SO IT WAS KIND OF LIKE A CARB 09:43.169 --> 09:47.850 OVERLOAD. SO NOBODY'S SLEEPING ON THIS TONIGHT, OKAY? THANK YOU 09:47.850 --> 09:50.190 TO THOSE WHO ARE JOINING ONLINE. I DON'T WANT TO BELABOR. THIS IS 09:50.190 --> 09:54.419 GOING TO BE A POWERFUL WORD TONIGHT. PASTOR HANK IS ON THE 09:54.419 --> 09:57.120 ONLINE, OR IS THE PROPHETIC SCHOOL TONIGHT. HE'S GOING TO BE 09:57.120 --> 10:02.100 SHARING A WORD ON A REPLAY ABOUT HOW TO BE TRAINED TO BE A VESSEL 10:02.100 --> 10:04.259 THAT CARRIES THE WORD OF THE LORD THROUGH THE SPIRIT OF 10:04.259 --> 10:09.659 PROPHECY, AMEN. HOW MANY WANT TO BE ABLE TO BE USED BY GOD TO BE 10:09.659 --> 10:14.460 ABLE TO SPEAK HIS WORD AND BRING IT FORTH IN A MANIFESTATION? I 10:14.460 --> 10:17.580 KNOW THAT'S A BIG ONE IN THIS CHURCH RIGHT NOW, AND ALSO JUST 10:17.580 --> 10:21.025 OUT IN THE WORLD WITH ALL OF THE CRAZY RHETORIC AND ALL THE 10:21.025 --> 10:24.895 FLIP-FLOPPING LIKE PANCAKES THAT WE'RE SEEING. BUT WE KNOW THAT 10:24.895 --> 10:28.676 GOD'S WORD IS TRUE, AMEN. SO THIS IS GONNA BE A POWERFUL WORD 10:28.676 --> 10:32.635 TONIGHT. GET YOUR HEARTS READY, BUT BEFORE WE TUNE IN, WE'RE 10:32.635 --> 10:34.885 GONNA HAVE A POWERFUL OFFERING MESSAGE BY 10:34.885 --> 10:37.302 PASTOR MARK, SO PLEASE WELCOME PASTOR MARK. 10:37.302 --> 10:39.471 (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) 10:39.471 --> 10:42.686 - WELL, GLORY TO GOD, THANK YOU, PASTOR ANTHONY. HELLO, EVERYONE, 10:42.686 --> 10:46.405 HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A GREAT WEDNESDAY EVENING SO FAR. LAST 10:46.405 --> 10:49.645 TIME I WAS UP HERE, I SPOKE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE 10:49.645 --> 10:54.716 REASONS WHY PEOPLE DON'T GIVE GENEROUSLY IN CHURCH, AND WE SAW 10:54.716 --> 10:58.885 THAT A LOT OF THOSE REASONS ARE ROOTED IN FEAR OR A LACK OF 10:58.885 --> 11:02.696 FAITH, AND PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF JUST, THEY'RE JUST AFRAID OF NOT 11:02.696 --> 11:08.456 HAVING ENOUGH. THEY'RE IN FEAR OF LACK. IN THE SAME WAY THAT I 11:08.456 --> 11:12.326 HAD SOUGHT EXPLANATIONS ABOUT WHY PEOPLE DON'T GIVE GENEROUSLY 11:12.326 --> 11:17.936 IN CHURCH, I ALSO LOOKED AT WHY THEY DO. AND NOT SURPRISINGLY, 11:17.936 --> 11:22.975 GENEROUS GIVING IS OFTEN CONNECTED TO FAITH IN THE 11:22.975 --> 11:27.206 BLESSING. AND OF COURSE THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF ABUNDANCE AND 11:27.206 --> 11:31.135 BLESSING COMING AS A RESULT OF GENEROUS GIVING. SO IF THEY'D BE 11:31.135 --> 11:36.176 KIND ENOUGH TO PUT THE SCRIPTURE UP ON THE SCREENS FOR US HERE. I 11:36.176 --> 11:41.905 WANT TO LOOK AT 2 CORINTHIANS 9:6-8. VERY FAMILIAR VERSES 11:41.905 --> 11:45.302 PROBABLY TO ALL OF US. THEY'RE OFTEN QUOTED. AND I WANTED TO 11:45.302 --> 11:48.956 READ THEM FIRST FROM THE NLT. AND AGAIN, I LIKE THIS 11:48.956 --> 11:52.255 TRANSLATION BECAUSE IT REALLY ILLUSTRATES GOD'S GRACE AND HIS 11:52.255 --> 11:57.385 LOVE FOR HIS CREATION. IN THIS SCRIPTURE, THIS IS THE APOSTLE 11:57.385 --> 12:00.926 PAUL SPEAKING HERE IN HIS SECOND LETTER TO THE CHURCH OF CORINTH, 12:00.926 --> 12:06.056 AND HE SAYS, "REMEMBER THIS, A FARMER WHO PLANTS ONLY A FEW 12:06.056 --> 12:10.046 SEEDS WILL GET A SMALL CROP, BUT THE ONE WHO PLANTS 12:10.046 --> 12:16.735 GENEROUSLY WILL GET A GENEROUS CROP. YOU MUST EACH DECIDE IN 12:16.735 --> 12:21.625 YOUR HEART HOW MUCH TO GIVE, AND DON'T GIVE RELUCTANTLY OR IN 12:21.625 --> 12:26.096 RESPONSE TO PRESSURE. FOR GOD LOVES A PERSON WHO GIVES 12:26.096 --> 12:33.326 CHEERFULLY. AND GOD WILL GENEROUSLY PROVIDE ALL YOU NEED, 12:33.326 --> 12:36.475 THEN YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED AND PLENTY 12:36.475 --> 12:40.556 LEFT OVER TO SHARE WITH OTHERS." AND JUST IN CASE THAT DOESN'T 12:40.556 --> 12:44.936 GET YOU EXCITED ENOUGH, I WANT TO ALSO LOOK AT THIS IN THE 12:44.936 --> 12:51.296 AMPLIFIED CLASSIC. AND HE SAYS HERE, "REMEMBER THIS. HE WHO 12:51.296 --> 12:55.105 SOWS SPARINGLY AND GRUDGINGLY WILL ALSO REAP SPARINGLY AND 12:55.105 --> 13:00.596 GRUDGINGLY. AND HE WHO SOWS GENEROUSLY THAT BLESSINGS MAY 13:00.596 --> 13:06.686 COME TO SOMEONE WILL ALSO REAP GENEROUSLY AND WITH BLESSINGS. 13:09.145 --> 13:13.885 LET EACH ONE GIVE AS HE HAS MADE UP HIS OWN MIND AND PURPOSED IN 13:13.885 --> 13:20.995 HIS HEART NOT RELUCTANTLY OR SORROWFULLY OR UNDER COMPULSION. 13:20.995 --> 13:26.216 FOR GOD LOVES, THAT IS HE TAKES PLEASURE IN, PRIZES ABOVE OTHER 13:26.216 --> 13:31.076 THINGS AND IS UNWILLING TO ABANDON OR DO WITHOUT A 13:31.076 --> 13:35.666 CHEERFUL, JOYOUS, PROMPT-TO-DO-IT GIVER WHOSE 13:35.666 --> 13:42.025 HEART IS IN HIS GIVING. AND GOD IS ABLE TO MAKE ALL GRACE, EVERY 13:42.025 --> 13:46.405 FAVOR AND EARTHLY BLESSING COME TO YOU IN ABUNDANCE SO THAT YOU 13:46.405 --> 13:49.735 MAY ALWAYS AND UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES AND WHATEVER THE 13:49.735 --> 13:54.655 NEED BE, SELF-SUFFICIENT, POSSESSING ENOUGH TO REQUIRE NO 13:54.655 --> 14:00.956 AID OR SUPPORT AND FURNISHED IN ABUNDANCE FOR EVERY GOOD WORK 14:00.956 --> 14:06.846 AND CHARITABLE DONATION." THIS IS AMAZING. THIS IS 14:06.846 --> 14:11.116 GOD'S PROMISE OF GENEROSITY, ABUNDANCE, 14:11.116 --> 14:14.187 BLESSING, IN RETURN FOR US HAVING THE 14:14.187 --> 14:18.296 HEART TO GIVE LIBERALLY WITHOUT ANY RELUCTANCE 14:18.296 --> 14:22.285 AND WITHOUT BEING COMPELLED IN ANY WAY TO DO SO. THIS KIND OF 14:22.285 --> 14:27.326 DECISION TO GIVE JOYFULLY AND NOT SORROWFULLY SHOWS OUR TRUST 14:27.326 --> 14:31.436 IN GOD AND OUR KNOWLEDGE OF HIS CHARACTER. AND LET ME JUST STOP 14:31.436 --> 14:37.645 HERE FOR A MOMENT AND SAY THAT GENEROUS IS A RELATIVE TERM. IT 14:37.645 --> 14:41.576 DOESN'T REFER TO A SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF MONEY, IF WE'RE 14:41.576 --> 14:47.426 TALKING ABOUT MONEY. TOTAL RESOURCES CAN VARY WIDELY AMONG 14:47.426 --> 14:51.956 MANY INDIVIDUALS. SO FOR EXAMPLE, AN AMOUNT THAT MIGHT BE 14:51.956 --> 14:57.505 THOUGHT OF AS GENEROUS MIGHT BE FAR SMALLER FOR A PERSON WORKING 14:57.505 --> 15:00.416 THE COUNTER AT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT THAN IT WOULD BE, OF 15:00.416 --> 15:05.846 COURSE, FOR THE CEO OF A FORTUNE 500 COMPANY. JUST RECALL FOR A 15:05.846 --> 15:09.535 MOMENT THE STORY IN THE GOSPELS OF THE WIDOW'S MITE. HER 15:09.535 --> 15:15.265 GENEROSITY WAS SO GREAT THAT SHE GAVE ALL THAT SHE HAD. AND JESUS 15:15.265 --> 15:23.066 TOOK NOTE OF IT. A PERSON'S CONCEPT OF GENEROSITY ALSO CAN 15:23.066 --> 15:27.686 CHANGE OVER TIME, ACCORDING TO VARYING CIRCUMSTANCES. FOR 15:27.686 --> 15:31.916 EXAMPLE, GENEROSITY FOR ME IS MUCH DIFFERENT TODAY THAN IT WAS 15:31.916 --> 15:38.515 IN TIMES PAST. WHAT'S NOT DIFFERENT THOUGH IS THE RESULT. 15:38.515 --> 15:44.755 GOD'S ABUNDANT BLESSING, FAVOR, AND PROVISION. ABOUT 20 YEARS 15:44.755 --> 15:49.255 AGO, WE WERE FACED WITH A SUDDEN NEED TO MAKE A LONG DISTANCE 15:49.255 --> 15:53.306 MOVE BECAUSE OF A PRESSING FAMILY MATTER. AND BACK THEN WE 15:53.306 --> 15:58.346 WERE CONSISTENT, GENEROUS GIVERS, BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE THE 15:58.346 --> 16:02.155 RESOURCES IN RESERVE TO MAKE THIS MOVE. AND I CAN RECALL MY 16:02.155 --> 16:05.635 WIFE AND I LOOKING AT EACH OTHER AND SAYING, "I DON'T KNOW HOW 16:05.635 --> 16:11.275 WE'RE GONNA DO THIS." BUT THEN BLESSING, FAVOR, AND PROVISION 16:11.275 --> 16:17.066 SIMPLY RAINED DOWN UPON US TO MAKE THE MOVE A REALITY. FIRST, 16:17.066 --> 16:20.995 AS I WAS LOOKING TO SECURE A MOVING TRUCK, I RECEIVED AN 16:20.995 --> 16:24.655 UNEXPECTED CHECK THAT I THOUGHT, WELL, MAYBE I CAN USE THAT 16:24.655 --> 16:27.865 TOWARD THE RENTAL, PROBABLY WON'T PAY FOR EVERYTHING. HOURS 16:27.865 --> 16:32.155 AND HOURS OF RESEARCH, AND LATER I FOUND A SPECIAL DEAL I COULD 16:32.155 --> 16:38.635 COME CLOSE TO AFFORDING, IF I ORDERED BY MIDNIGHT. AROUND 16:38.635 --> 16:43.436 11:58, I WAS ABOUT TO SUBMIT THE RESERVATION, AND THE WEBSITE 16:43.436 --> 16:50.216 INEXPLICABLY WENT DOWN. I WAITED, I WATCHED FOR TWO 16:50.216 --> 16:55.046 AGONIZING HOURS UNTIL IT CAME BACK UP. AND SURPRISINGLY, THE 16:55.046 --> 16:58.556 PRICE HAD DROPPED AT THAT POINT BY ABOUT 25%, AND NOW I WAS ABLE 16:58.556 --> 17:01.375 TO AFFORD THE ENTIRE COST OF THAT CHECK THAT HAD BEEN SENT TO 17:01.375 --> 17:09.596 ME. THE NEXT DAY, WE HAD TO PACK EVERYTHING WE OWNED. AND AGAIN, 17:09.596 --> 17:13.855 WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND WE SAID, "WE CAN'T EVEN DO THIS." 17:13.855 --> 17:17.096 BUT WOMEN FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SOME OF WHOM WE DIDN'T EVEN 17:17.096 --> 17:21.625 KNOW, STARTED SHOWING UP AT THE DOOR, GREETING MY WIFE. SOME 17:21.625 --> 17:25.855 BOUGHT BREAKFAST, EVEN LUNCH. ALL OF THEM BEGAN HELPING MY 17:25.855 --> 17:29.987 WIFE PACK THE HOUSE UP. SO I WENT AND PICKED UP THE TRUCK, 17:31.736 --> 17:34.855 AND THEN I PARKED IT OUT FRONT. AND IT WAS A GUY IN THE 17:34.855 --> 17:38.890 NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I HAD ONLY SPOKEN TO IN PASSING A COUPLE OF 17:38.890 --> 17:41.786 TIMES. I MEAN, I BARELY KNEW THIS GUY. I WAS STANDING OUT 17:41.786 --> 17:43.855 THERE, AND HE CAME BY, AND HE SAYS, "OH, ARE YOU MOVING 17:43.855 --> 17:48.266 TODAY?" AND I SAID, "WELL, YES." AND HE SAID, "WELL, I HAVE TO 17:48.266 --> 17:50.695 RUN TO THE STORE REAL QUICK AND GET SOME ROPE. I'LL BE RIGHT 17:50.695 --> 17:56.066 BACK." OKAY. TURNS OUT HE WAS A LOGISTICS EXPERT AT THE LOCAL 17:56.066 --> 18:00.236 ARMY BASE, AND HE RETURNED TO SUPERVISE THE ENTIRE LOADING AND 18:00.236 --> 18:05.336 PACKING OF THE TRUCK. AND SEVERAL BOYS FROM THE 18:05.336 --> 18:08.576 NEIGHBORHOOD ALSO JUST BEGAN SHOWING UP LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE 18:08.576 --> 18:10.915 PIED PIPER WITH OTHER PEOPLE, THE LITTLE GUYS FOLLOWING THEM, 18:10.915 --> 18:14.935 AND THEY PROCEEDED TO LOAD THE ENTIRE TRUCK, AND OUR NEW FRIEND 18:14.935 --> 18:17.546 THERE CALLED OUT ALL THE ORDERS AND TIED EVERYTHING IN PLACE. IT 18:17.546 --> 18:21.596 WAS JUST ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I DIDN'T HAVE TO LIFT A FINGER. SO 18:21.596 --> 18:23.756 THEN I HAD THIS PIECE OF MAIL LAYING ON THE COUNTER AND WHEN 18:23.756 --> 18:27.296 WE WERE STARTING TO WIND THINGS DOWN AND IT HAD BEEN MISTAKENLY 18:27.296 --> 18:30.715 DELIVERED TO ME AND IT BELONGED TO ANOTHER GUY THAT LIVED DOWN 18:30.715 --> 18:33.385 THE STREET AND I HADN'T MET HIM PREVIOUSLY AND HE WAS FAIRLY NEW 18:33.385 --> 18:36.625 TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I THOUGHT, WELL, I NEED TO GO GIVE THIS TO 18:36.625 --> 18:39.986 HIM BEFORE I LEAVE TOWN BECAUSE OTHERWISE I'M GONNA GET 18:39.986 --> 18:43.496 SOMEWHERE ELSE AND HAVE TO MAIL IT BACK TO HIM. SO I WENT DOWN 18:43.496 --> 18:47.125 AND WHEN HE ANSWERED THE DOOR, WE SPOKE BRIEFLY AND I EXPLAINED 18:47.125 --> 18:50.276 WE WERE MOVING AND HE QUESTIONED ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW I WAS 18:50.276 --> 18:52.855 GOING TO TRANSPORT THE CAR ON THE TRAILER BEHIND THE TRUCK. 18:53.905 --> 18:57.115 AND I SCRATCHED MY HEAD A LITTLE BIT AND HE CAME ALONG, FOLLOWED 18:57.115 --> 19:00.385 ME HOME, AND HELPED ATTACH THE TRAILER AND MAKE SURE THAT THE 19:00.385 --> 19:05.066 VEHICLE WAS SECURED FOR THE TRIP. WELL, AFTER A LITTLE WHILE 19:05.066 --> 19:08.695 WE CAME TO THE POINT FINALLY THAT EVENING, ALL THAT WAS LEFT 19:08.695 --> 19:12.266 WERE A COUPLE OF AIR MATTRESSES. SO WE FIGURED IN OUR INFINITE 19:12.266 --> 19:15.836 WISDOM THAT WE'D SLEEP ON THEM THAT NIGHT AND QUICKLY DEPART ON 19:15.836 --> 19:21.836 OUR JOURNEY THE NEXT MORNING. NOPE. GOD WASN'T HAVING THAT. HE 19:21.836 --> 19:25.165 WAS CLEARLY GOING TO ENSURE THAT EVERYTHING WAS GENEROUSLY 19:25.165 --> 19:30.296 PROVIDED FOR US. LO AND BEHOLD, OUR LOGISTICS FRIEND SHOWED BACK 19:30.296 --> 19:34.316 UP AT THE DOOR. AND THIS TIME IT WAS TO OFFER US HIS PLACE FOR 19:34.316 --> 19:36.536 THE NIGHT. HE WAS GOING TO BE STAYING AT A FRIEND'S FOR THAT 19:36.536 --> 19:39.115 EVENING. AND HE SAID, "HEY, YOU TAKE THIS." SO INSTEAD OF AIR 19:39.115 --> 19:42.655 MATTRESSES ALL ALONE ON THE FLOOR OF A TOTALLY VACATED 19:42.655 --> 19:47.365 SPACE, WE SLEPT COMFORTABLY IN WELL-MADE BEDS. THERE WAS A FIRE 19:47.365 --> 19:52.256 LIT IN THE FIREPLACE, FOOD AND SNACKS AT OUR DISPOSAL, EVEN A 19:52.256 --> 19:55.855 GIANT HANDCRAFTED CHESS BOARD THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ENJOY THAT 19:55.855 --> 19:59.756 EVENING. IN THE MORNING BEFORE WE DEPARTED, HE RETURNED ONE 19:59.756 --> 20:05.125 MORE TIME WITH COFFEE AND DONUTS. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. AND 20:05.125 --> 20:08.425 THEN AS WE WERE ABOUT TO DRIVE AWAY, WE WERE SAYING OUR 20:08.425 --> 20:11.576 GOODBYES TO OUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR, AND HE REACHED IN HIS 20:11.576 --> 20:15.236 POCKET AND PULLED OUT A WAD OF CASH. AND HE SAID, "WHEN I WENT 20:15.236 --> 20:19.855 TO THE ATM THIS MORNING, I HAD NO IDEA WHY GOD HAD ME TO PULL 20:19.855 --> 20:23.357 THIS MONEY OUT." HE SAID, "NOW I CAN SEE I'M SUPPOSED TO GIVE IT 20:23.357 --> 20:26.182 TO YOU SO THAT YOU'LL HAVE ALL THAT YOU NEED FOR FOOD AND SUCH 20:26.182 --> 20:30.771 ON YOUR TRAVELS." LAID THE MONEY IN MY HAND, AND IT WAS MORE THAN 20:30.771 --> 20:34.402 ENOUGH TO COVER ALL OUR EXPENSES ON THE ROAD. NOW, I'D KEEP ON 20:34.402 --> 20:36.832 GOING AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT ALL THE BLESSINGS ON THE OTHER END 20:36.832 --> 20:42.412 OF THE TRIP, BUT I WON'T. KEY HERE IS WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT AN 20:42.412 --> 20:47.842 AMAZING, BOUNTIFUL RESPONSE OUR GIVING WOULD BRING TO US IN OUR 20:47.842 --> 20:52.311 TIME OF NEED. AND GOD IS DETERMINED TO HONOR AND BLESS 20:52.311 --> 20:55.942 CHEERFUL AND GENEROUS GIVERS. THAT'S THE MESSAGE I GOT OUT OF 20:55.942 --> 21:00.892 THAT. SO BY FAITH TONIGHT, FAITH IN GOD'S PROMISE, FAITH IN HIS 21:00.892 --> 21:07.642 WORD, LET US PLANT GENEROUSLY. LET US SOW BIG, BELIEVING THAT 21:07.642 --> 21:12.201 WE WILL REAP AN ABUNDANT HARVEST AND ENJOY FAVOR AND BLESSING IN 21:12.201 --> 21:15.351 EVERY SITUATION AND CIRCUMSTANCE. THEY CAN PUT THE 21:15.351 --> 21:19.432 GIVING INFORMATION UP ON THE SCREEN. WE ALL KNOW THE DRILL 21:19.432 --> 21:21.561 PRETTY WELL HERE, I THINK. THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS 21:21.561 --> 21:28.551 TO GIVE. WE STILL LOVE THE MAIL. THERE'S ALSO A MOBILE APP, AND 21:28.551 --> 21:33.792 YOU CAN ALWAYS GO TO THE WEBSITE, LOHCHURCH.ORG/GIVE. 21:33.792 --> 21:38.872 USHERS, YOU CAN BE IN THE AISLES AS WE PREPARE FOR TONIGHT'S 21:38.872 --> 21:44.031 OFFERING. GOD'S ALREADY WIRED SOME OF US TO BE VERY GENEROUS 21:44.031 --> 21:48.741 IN OUR GIVING. AS FOR THE REST OF US, THOUGH, WE MIGHT HAVE TO 21:48.741 --> 21:51.291 WORK ON IT A LITTLE BIT. SO LET ME JUST OFFER YOU SOME HELP. 21:53.301 --> 21:56.541 WHEN YOU ASK THE LORD WHAT YOU SHOULD GIVE AND HE TELLS YOU TWO 21:56.541 --> 22:00.652 MILLION, AND THAT VOICE COMES BACK, THAT SECOND THOUGHT COMES 22:00.652 --> 22:03.501 IMMEDIATELY TO SAY, NO, YOU CAN GET BY WITH JUST ONE MILLION, 22:03.501 --> 22:09.861 YOU MAKE YOUR CHECK OUT FOR TWO MILLION, OKAY? SO LISTEN, WHEN 22:09.861 --> 22:14.092 EVERYBODY'S READY, LET'S STAND REAL QUICK TO OUR FEET. LET'S 22:14.092 --> 22:17.001 HOLD UP OUR ENVELOPES, OUR CELL PHONES, WHATEVER. WE'RE JUST 22:17.001 --> 22:20.422 GONNA BLESS THIS. FATHER, WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE NO RESPECTER 22:20.422 --> 22:24.172 OF PERSONS. WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR ME AND OTHERS, YOU WILL DO FOR 22:24.172 --> 22:27.652 EVERY ONE OF YOUR CHILDREN. AND YOU ARE THE SAME YESTERDAY, 22:27.652 --> 22:33.771 TODAY, AND FOREVER. SO YOU WILL HONOR GENEROUS GIVING, PROVIDE 22:33.771 --> 22:37.882 FOR US IN ABUNDANCE, AND SHOWER US WITH FAVOR AND BLESSING NO 22:37.882 --> 22:41.902 MATTER WHAT THE SEASON IN OUR LIVES IS. WE PRESENT OURSELVES 22:41.902 --> 22:46.461 AS CHEERFUL, JOYOUS, PROMPT TO DO GIVERS AND DECLARE THAT THE 22:46.461 --> 22:50.361 SEEDS WE SOW TONIGHT WILL PRODUCE A GENEROUS CROP AND A 22:50.361 --> 22:53.842 BLESSED HARVEST IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS. WE THANK YOU, 22:53.842 --> 22:58.162 FATHER. NOW LET'S CUE THE VIDEO AND LISTEN TO PASTOR HANK. 22:59.878 --> 23:06.861 - REVELATION 4:1, I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT WHAT THE CALL WAS. AND I 23:06.861 --> 23:10.432 BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A CALL THAT IS WHY WE'RE DOING THIS 23:10.432 --> 23:14.122 PROPHETIC SCHOOL, BECAUSE THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS ACTUALLY DOING 23:14.122 --> 23:16.761 SOMETHING. AND IF THEY'LL PUT THE SCRIPTURES UP ON THE SIDE AS 23:16.761 --> 23:19.971 WELL FOR PEOPLE TO SEE, AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN SEE THEM AT 23:19.971 --> 23:23.692 HOME, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. AFTER THIS, I LOOKED, AND THIS IS THE 23:23.692 --> 23:27.442 APOSTLE JOHN TALKING, AND BEHOLD, A DOOR WAS OPENED IN 23:27.442 --> 23:32.662 HEAVEN. AND NOTICE THE FIRST VOICE WHICH I HEARD WAS AS IT 23:32.662 --> 23:37.821 WERE OF A TRUMPET TALKING WITH ME. AND NOTICE WHAT HEAVEN WAS 23:37.821 --> 23:41.751 ASKING OR DECLARING, "COME UP HIGHER." DO YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S 23:41.751 --> 23:43.912 WHAT I BELIEVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS SAYING RIGHT NOW? THERE'S A 23:43.912 --> 23:48.501 CALL TO COME UP HIGHER, NOT TO BE A SECULAR CHRISTIAN, NOT TO 23:48.501 --> 23:50.991 BE A CHRISTIAN THAT YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE IF 23:50.991 --> 23:55.761 YOU'RE YOU KNOW WORLDLY OR GODLY. THERE'S A THERE'S A CALL 23:55.761 --> 24:00.051 TO COME UP HIGHER AND BE ABOUT THE THINGS OF GOD, BUT 24:00.051 --> 24:03.980 THERE'S ALSO A CALL TO COME UP HIGHER. WATCH THIS SO THAT GOD 24:03.980 --> 24:10.041 CAN SHOW US THINGS WHICH MUST COME HEREAFTER. THAT'S WHY IF 24:10.041 --> 24:12.913 YOU WANT TO BE A PROPHETIC PERSON AND YOU WANT TO HAVE A 24:12.913 --> 24:20.460 PROPHETIC SPIRIT, YOU CANNOT BE SO INUNDATED, LOOKING, AND 24:20.460 --> 24:24.964 LITERALLY CONSUMED WITH EVERYTHING THAT IS ON THE NEWS, 24:24.964 --> 24:28.801 IN THE NEWSPAPERS, THE HEADLINES, BECAUSE IF YOU DO, 24:28.801 --> 24:33.472 WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS IT WILL PULL YOU TO AN EARTHLY REALM, AN 24:33.472 --> 24:36.976 EARTHLY REVELATION, RATHER THAN GOING 24:36.976 --> 24:40.461 UP HIGHER AND GETTING GOD'S PERSPECTIVE ON THINGS. SO 24:40.461 --> 24:43.551 I'VE LEARNED SOMETHING. IF YOU WANT TO GO HIGHER IN YOUR 24:43.551 --> 24:47.601 PROPHETIC GIFTING, IF YOU WANT MORE VISIONS, DREAMS, YOU WANT 24:47.601 --> 24:51.291 GOD'S VOICE TO SPEAK TO YOU, YOU WANT TO HEAR GOD, YOU WANT TO 24:51.291 --> 24:56.781 SPEAK FOR GOD, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN DETERMINATION AND 24:56.781 --> 25:01.402 LIFESTYLE THAT YOU ANSWER THE CALL, THAT YOU ARE A HEAVENLY 25:01.402 --> 25:06.382 MINDED, YOU ARE DRIVEN FOR THE THINGS OF GOD AND YOU'RE NOT 25:06.382 --> 25:10.098 ALWAYS JUST PUTTING YOUR HEAD INTO WHATEVER THE MEDIA IS 25:10.098 --> 25:12.861 SAYING AND ALL THE NEGATIVE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON. YOU 25:12.861 --> 25:16.342 WILL NEVER HAVE THE RIGHT PROPHETIC SPIRIT IF YOU DO THAT. 25:16.342 --> 25:22.942 IF YOU WANT TO GO HIGHER, THEN COME UP WHERE HE IS. YOU WILL 25:22.942 --> 25:25.372 SEE. NOTICE THE THING THAT HAPPENED. IF YOU CHOOSE TO COME 25:25.372 --> 25:29.721 UP HIGHER, IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE A SPIRITUAL PERSON, YOU CHOOSE TO 25:29.721 --> 25:32.511 READ YOUR BIBLE, YOU CHOOSE TO PRAY IN THE SPIRIT, YOU CHOOSE 25:32.511 --> 25:36.951 TO SEEK THE FACE OF GOD. NOTICE THE PROMISE. I WILL SHOW YOU 25:36.951 --> 25:40.582 THINGS WHICH MUST COME HEREAFTER. I HAVE PEOPLE OFTEN 25:40.582 --> 25:44.092 SAY TO ME, "PASTOR HANK, I DON'T FEEL LIKE I HEAR GOD ANYMORE." I 25:44.092 --> 25:47.601 USED TO FLOW IN THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT. AND I ALWAYS SAY IT TO 25:47.601 --> 25:50.896 THEM THIS WAY, "HAVE YOU EVER MADE KOOL-AID BEFORE?" HOW MANY 25:50.896 --> 25:53.271 OF YOU, YOU HAVE YOUNG PEOPLE IN HERE, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT 25:53.271 --> 25:58.101 KOOL-AID IS. BUT YOU KNOW, OR LET'S JUST SAY YOU'D MAKE SOME 25:58.101 --> 26:02.961 KIND OF, YOU KNOW, REFRESHING DRINK FOR KIDS, RIGHT? YOU WOULD 26:02.961 --> 26:07.559 TAKE THE KOOL-AID PACKET AND YOU WOULD PUT IT IN LIKE, I DON'T 26:07.559 --> 26:10.432 KNOW, WHAT WAS IT, LIKE A GALLON OF WATER, A PITCHER OF WATER, 26:10.432 --> 26:13.491 AND THEN YOU WOULD PUT LIKE TEN SCOOPS OF SUGAR AND YOU WOULD 26:13.491 --> 26:18.029 PUT IT INTO THIS CONTAINER. AND YOU WOULD STIR IT AND THE 26:18.029 --> 26:21.230 KOOL-AID PACKET WITH THE TEN SCOOPS OF SUGAR AND THE WATER IN 26:21.230 --> 26:24.501 THE PITCHER WOULD MAKE THIS THING CALLED KOOL-AID AND MAN 26:24.501 --> 26:27.321 WAS THAT AMAZING. AND THEN IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO, YOU PUT IT 26:27.321 --> 26:31.281 IN ICE TRAYS WITH TOOTHPICKS IN IT AND YOU'D FREEZE IT FOR 26:31.281 --> 26:32.751 LATER. YOU REMEMBER THAT? HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THAT? HOW 26:32.751 --> 26:35.480 MANY OF YOU OVER, YOU'RE OVER 50, YOU'RE OKAY. HOW MANY OF YOU 26:35.480 --> 26:40.221 ARE 30 BELOW, 30 BELOW, 30 AND BELOW? HOW MANY OF YOU ARE 35 26:40.221 --> 26:42.892 AND UNDER? YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, 26:42.892 --> 26:44.961 DO YOU? ALRIGHT, NOW HERE, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, 26:44.961 --> 26:47.902 YOU HAVE NO CLUE, YOU HAVE NO CLUE. BUT HERE'S THE POINT. IF 26:47.902 --> 26:53.632 YOU WOULD LEAVE THAT KOOL-AID IN THAT PITCHER AND WALK AWAY AND 26:53.632 --> 26:57.711 COME BACK, ALL OF THE INGREDIENTS WOULD BEGIN TO 26:57.711 --> 27:02.961 SETTLE TO THE BOTTOM. THAT'S WHY IT SAYS PAUL DECLARED TO TIMOTHY 27:02.961 --> 27:08.902 HIS SON, STIR UP THE GIFTS OF GOD THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO YOU. 27:08.902 --> 27:12.172 AND ONE OF THE WAYS TO STIR UP THE GIFT, IT'S NOT THAT YOU, 27:12.172 --> 27:14.991 WELL YOU USED TO FLOW IN THE GIFTS OR YOU USED TO HEAR GOD 27:14.991 --> 27:18.351 GREATER, BECAUSE I GUARANTEE YOU, IF YOU GO BACK, YOU 27:18.351 --> 27:21.531 PROBABLY HAD MORE OF A FIRST LOVE FOR GOD, YOU WERE PROBABLY 27:21.531 --> 27:24.652 MORE DEDICATED TO READING THE WORD, YOU PROBABLY WERE MORE 27:24.652 --> 27:28.041 CONSISTENT IN YOUR DEVOTIONS, YOU PROBABLY SPENT MORE TIME 27:28.041 --> 27:31.251 WITH THE LORD. AND USUALLY WHEN THERE'S A DISCONNECT, WHEN 27:31.251 --> 27:34.221 YOU'RE NOT GETTING CONSTANT REVELATION, YOU'RE NOT HEARING 27:34.221 --> 27:37.611 GOD, YOU'RE NOT SENSING HIM, YOU'RE NOT SEEING THINGS, ALWAYS 27:37.611 --> 27:44.571 GO BACK AND PLUG IN GREATER. CHECK YOUR CORDS, RIGHT? CHECK 27:44.571 --> 27:49.041 YOUR CONNECTION. AND I PROMISE YOU, HIS REWARD WAS COME UP 27:49.041 --> 27:51.832 HIGHER AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU THINGS, ALRIGHT? SO YOU WANT TO 27:51.832 --> 27:55.461 GO DEEPER? COME UP HIGHER, CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE, CHANGE 27:55.461 --> 27:58.132 THINGS THAT YOU'RE DOING, PLUG GREATER INTO HEAVEN AND I 27:58.132 --> 28:00.801 PROMISE YOU, YOU WILL SEE A GREATER DOWNLOAD THAT COMES. 28:00.801 --> 28:03.501 ALRIGHT I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT ACTS 2 AND I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT 28:03.501 --> 28:06.494 VERSE 16-19. I JUST WANT TO LAY A LITTLE BIT OF A FOUNDATION. 28:07.611 --> 28:11.361 OFTEN TIMES WHEN PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE LAST DAYS, 28:11.361 --> 28:14.451 THEY DON'T OFTEN LIKE TO TALK THIS STUFF. THEY ALWAYS TALK 28:14.451 --> 28:18.291 ABOUT THE BEAST, THE ANTICHRIST, THE MARK OF THE BEAST, AND 28:18.291 --> 28:22.730 TRIBULATION. BUT LOOK AT THE PROMISE OF THE LAST DAYS. BUT 28:22.730 --> 28:25.701 THIS IS THAT WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY THE PROPHET JOEL. "THEN IN THE 28:25.701 --> 28:32.061 LAST DAYS, SAITH THE LORD, I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT." SO 28:32.061 --> 28:35.751 RATHER THAN LOOKING FOR A GLOBAL TRIBULATION, WHY DON'T WE LOOK 28:35.751 --> 28:39.741 FOR A GLOBAL OUTPOURING? AND THAT'S WHERE MY EYES ARE ON. I'M 28:39.741 --> 28:43.461 LIKE, "GOD, I'M NOT ON THIS EARTH, YOU KNOW, TO JUST SIT 28:43.461 --> 28:46.342 THERE AND BE IN FEAR. I'M IN THIS EARTH TO BE PART OF THE 28:46.342 --> 28:51.531 LAST GREAT OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT." AND NOTICE, NOTICE 28:51.531 --> 28:54.980 THE INCREASE OF PROPHETIC REVELATION. WATCH THIS, "I'LL 28:54.980 --> 28:57.412 POUR OUT MY SPIRIT UPON ALL FLESH, AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR 28:57.412 --> 29:01.491 DAUGHTERS SHALL," WHAT? "AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE 29:01.491 --> 29:05.480 VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS." I MEAN, THIS IS 29:05.480 --> 29:08.332 AMAZING. HE'S SAYING, "LOOK AT ALL THE PROPHETIC REVELATION 29:08.332 --> 29:12.230 THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE LAST DAYS." LOOK AT VERSE 18. IT 29:12.230 --> 29:14.961 SAYS, "AND ALL MY SERVANTS AND ALL MY HANDMAIDENS I WILL POUR 29:14.961 --> 29:19.882 OUT IN THOSE DAYS OF MY SPIRIT, AND THEY SHALL PROPHESY." SO 29:19.882 --> 29:25.162 WHAT IS, WHAT ARE THE MARKINGS OF THE LAST DAYS? THE OUTPOURING 29:25.162 --> 29:28.521 OF THE HOLY SPIRIT SIGNS, WONDERS, MIRACLES, BUT WATCH 29:28.521 --> 29:32.961 THIS, AN INCREASE OF THE PROPHETIC. SO IF GOD'S CALLING 29:32.961 --> 29:38.271 US TO COME UP HIGHER, MAN, WE ARE READY AND WILLING AND ABLE 29:38.271 --> 29:42.051 TO HAVE THOSE PROPHETIC UTTERANCES, PROPHETIC WORDS, 29:42.051 --> 29:46.878 VISIONS, AND DREAMS. LET'S GO ON. NOW, WHY DON'T YOU LOOK AT 1 29:46.878 --> 29:52.101 CORINTHIANS 12:28. LOOK AT WHAT GOD HAS SET IN THE CHURCH. AND 29:52.101 --> 29:55.701 THIS IS WHY I WOULDN'T BE GOING, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING 29:55.701 --> 29:59.842 ONLINE TO SOME DEAD CHURCH SOMEWHERE, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE 29:59.842 --> 30:05.332 COMMANDS TO JOSHUA AND TO THE PEOPLE IS WHEN YOU SEE THE ARK, 30:05.332 --> 30:11.182 LEAVE THE PLACE WHERE YOU'RE AT AND GO AFTER IT. SOMETIMES WE 30:11.182 --> 30:18.111 WASTE OUR TIME AT CHURCHES THAT HAVE NO ABSOLUTE DESIRE TO LET 30:18.111 --> 30:21.922 GOD MOVE. HERE'S HOW YOU KNOW. WHEN THEY MAKE EVERYTHING ABOUT 30:21.922 --> 30:28.577 YOU, WHEN EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU, COME AS YOU ARE. YOU ARE 30:28.577 --> 30:35.147 WELCOME. YOU ARE THIS. YOU ARE THAT. JUST DOING LIFE WITH YOU. 30:35.147 --> 30:40.097 JUST BE YOU. WELL, YOU KNOW WHY? YOU GO TO THOSE CHURCHES AND YOU 30:40.097 --> 30:48.407 NEVER, YOU NEVER FEEL HIM, BECAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU. AND 30:48.407 --> 30:53.387 WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR CHURCH AND YOUR LIFE ABOUT GOD, HE WILL 30:53.387 --> 30:57.827 COME. IT'S NOT ABOUT US. I'M NOT HERE BECAUSE OF ME. I'M HERE, I 30:57.827 --> 31:01.607 WANT GOD. AND AS A RESULT, GOD, I WANT YOU TO BLESS THE PEOPLE. 31:01.607 --> 31:04.548 SO YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A CHURCH, 31:04.548 --> 31:08.057 HERE'S A GOOD LIST. GOD HAS SET SOME IN THE CHURCH, FIRST 31:08.057 --> 31:11.837 APOSTLES. THOSE ARE GOVERNMENTAL, MEN OF AUTHORITY, 31:11.837 --> 31:15.438 WOMEN OF AUTHORITY. AND WE'LL GET INTO SUBJECTS ABOUT WOMEN IN 31:15.438 --> 31:20.298 MINISTRY, BELIEVE ME. BECAUSE THERE'S SUCH A RELIGIOUS DEVIL 31:20.298 --> 31:22.997 THAT WOULD LOVE TO MAKE YOU THINK THAT WOMEN CAN'T SAY 31:22.997 --> 31:26.657 ANYTHING. I MEAN SOME OF YOU WOMEN, YOU JUST VIOLATED SOME OF 31:26.657 --> 31:28.728 THE RELIGIOUS SPIRITS. THEY TELL YOU TO BE QUIET IN THE CHURCH. 31:28.728 --> 31:32.747 THERE YOU GO. SECOND, PROPHETS. RIGHT? SO THERE'S PROPHETS IN 31:32.747 --> 31:36.887 THE CHURCH. THIRDLY, TEACHERS. THE PROBLEM IS MOST CHURCHES YOU 31:36.887 --> 31:39.768 GO TO, ALL YOU SEE IS TEACHERS. YOU DON'T SEE ANY PROPHETIC 31:39.768 --> 31:43.247 MOVE. YOU DON'T SEE ANY PROPHET. YOU DON'T EVER HEAR ANY 31:43.247 --> 31:47.688 PROPHETIC UTTERANCES. YOU DON'T FIND APOSTOLIC AUTHORITY AND 31:47.688 --> 31:52.397 ORDER. THEN AFTER THAT, MIRACLES AND GIFTS OF HEALING, HELPS, 31:52.397 --> 31:54.798 GOVERNMENTS, DIVERSITIES OF TONGUES. YEAH, SPEAKING IN 31:54.798 --> 31:57.738 TONGUES. SO NOTICE HOW WHEN GOD SET THESE THINGS IN THE CHURCH, 31:57.738 --> 32:02.507 IT WAS FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE SUPERNATURAL. GOD WANTS THE 32:02.507 --> 32:06.438 SUPERNATURAL, AND HE WANTS YOU TO BE PART OF THAT SUPERNATURAL. 32:06.438 --> 32:09.077 NOW I WANT YOU TO LOOK HERE, LET'S TALK ABOUT PROPHETS, 32:09.077 --> 32:12.018 BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD PUTS IN 32:12.018 --> 32:16.458 THE CHURCH IS PROPHETS. HOW MANY OF YOU SAW THAT? NOW, WHAT DO 32:16.458 --> 32:19.397 PROPHETS DO? I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT AMOS 3:7. AGAIN, I'M JUST 32:19.397 --> 32:24.827 MAKING A LITTLE REPETITIVE STUFF HERE. IN AMOS 3:7, "SURELY THE 32:24.827 --> 32:29.897 LORD GOD WILL DO WHAT? NOTHING, BUT THAT HE REVEALS HIS 32:29.897 --> 32:35.688 SECRETS." OR HIS SECRETS. NOW, I'VE OFTEN ASKED MYSELF, WHY IS 32:35.688 --> 32:42.647 IT SINGULAR, SECRET, AND NOT PLURAL? NOW, MAYBE OTHER 32:42.647 --> 32:47.357 TRANSLATIONS THAT MIGHT HAVE IT BE, YOU KNOW, PLURAL. BECAUSE 32:47.357 --> 32:51.018 HERE IS A PRINCIPLE THAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT 32:51.018 --> 32:54.347 PROPHETS IN THE BIBLE. THEY WERE CALLED THE FRIENDS OF GOD. AND 32:54.347 --> 32:56.688 THE REASON THEY WERE CALLED THE FRIENDS OF GOD IS BECAUSE THEY 32:56.688 --> 33:01.817 HAD A UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THAT WASN'T BASED ON THEIR 33:01.817 --> 33:05.867 GIFTING, THEIR WORDS. IT WAS BASED ON THEY WANTED GOD. AND 33:05.867 --> 33:08.117 THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT. SO SURELY THE 33:08.117 --> 33:11.991 LORD GOD WILL DO NOTHING, BUT HE REVEALS HIS SECRET. CAN I TELL 33:11.991 --> 33:16.728 YOU WHAT HIS SECRET IS? IT'S HIS HEART. YOU GET GOD'S HEART AND 33:16.728 --> 33:21.077 HE WILL TALK. YOU GET GOD'S HEART AND HE WILL SHOW YOU 33:21.077 --> 33:24.738 THINGS TO COME. YOU GET HIS HEART AND I TELL YOU WHAT, HE 33:24.738 --> 33:28.278 WILL SHARE THINGS WITH YOU AND AT TIMES HE'LL TELL YOU TO BE 33:28.278 --> 33:31.997 QUIET AND DON'T SHARE IT WITH ANYBODY. SOMETIMES HE SHOWS ME 33:31.997 --> 33:35.867 THINGS IN THE EARTH THAT I KNOW AHEAD OF TIME IS COMING AND I 33:35.867 --> 33:40.367 WANT SO BAD TO SAY IT BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE I HAVE HIS SECRET. 33:40.367 --> 33:43.757 I HAVE HIS SECRET. I HAVE HIS HEART AND I'M NOT GOING TO 33:43.757 --> 33:47.178 VIOLATE HIS HEART BECAUSE IF I VIOLATE HIS HEART, I VIOLATE 33:47.178 --> 33:51.468 TRUST AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW IMPORTANT BUILDING TRUST IS 33:51.468 --> 33:57.497 WITH GOD. IF GOD CAN TRUST YOU, HE WILL SHARE HIS SECRET, HIS 33:57.497 --> 34:02.448 HEART, AND OUT OF THAT WILL COME SECRETS. NOTICE THE JOB OF THE 34:02.448 --> 34:06.857 PROPHETS. THEIR JOB IS TO BE SERVANTS. TOO MANY PEOPLE WANT 34:06.857 --> 34:11.597 TO BE SERVED, RIGHT? THEY WANT TO BE NOTICED WITH THEIR GIFT. 34:11.597 --> 34:16.668 WELL, YOU SERVE GOD AND YOU BE A SERVANT. OKAY, THE REASON I WANT 34:16.668 --> 34:22.697 TO HEAR GOD IS NOT SO THAT PEOPLE CAN GLORIFY THE GIFTING, 34:22.697 --> 34:27.047 THE UTTERANCE. I WANT TO SERVE GOD. I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE. YOU 34:27.047 --> 34:30.768 KNOW, IN A CRAZY TIME THAT WE'RE LIVING IN, CONFUSION, YOU KNOW, 34:30.768 --> 34:34.398 WHAT IS TRUTH? I ALWAYS SAY IT TO GOD, GOD, YOUR HEART, YOUR 34:34.398 --> 34:38.447 SECRET DEMANDS A VOICE. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE, BUT GOD, I'M 34:38.447 --> 34:41.358 HONORED TO BE ONE OF THEM. BUT LORD, HERE'S THE DEAL, THE 34:41.358 --> 34:45.047 PEOPLE, IT DEMANDS THAT THEY HEAR YOUR HEART, YOUR SECRET. IT 34:45.047 --> 34:50.898 DEMANDS THAT THEY RECEIVE TRUTH. RIGHT? AND SO I WANT YOU TO 34:50.898 --> 34:53.237 UNDERSTAND THAT. NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, 34:53.237 --> 34:56.507 FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN THE ISRAELI WAR HAPPENED, PEOPLE WERE 34:56.507 --> 35:00.737 WRITING IN ON SOCIAL MEDIA, "WELL, HOW COME NO PROPHET HEARD 35:00.737 --> 35:03.918 THIS?" WELL, WHOA, WHOA, WAIT A MINUTE. GOD DOES NOTHING IN THE 35:03.918 --> 35:06.257 EARTH UNLESS HE REVEALS THE SECRETS TO HIS SERVANTS, THE 35:06.257 --> 35:11.567 PROPHETS. AND OUR MINISTRY, WE HAD GOD SPEAK. YOU CAN LOOK AT 35:11.567 --> 35:15.737 THOSE PROPHECIES OR TALK ABOUT THEM ON NOVEMBER 15TH COMING UP. 35:15.737 --> 35:18.708 THERE WERE PROPHECIES FROM APRIL 16TH AND APRIL 30TH. GOD SAID IN 35:18.708 --> 35:21.527 THE DAYS AHEAD THERE'S GOING TO BE A STRIKE AGAINST ISRAEL. HE 35:21.527 --> 35:25.608 SAID SEPTEMBER 14TH OR 15TH AT OUR CONFERENCE. IRAN WOULD BE 35:25.608 --> 35:29.838 INVOLVED IN A STRIKE REGARDING ISRAEL. SO JUST BECAUSE YOU 35:29.838 --> 35:33.827 DIDN'T HEAR IT DIDN'T MEAN THAT GOD DIDN'T SPEAK IT. DON'T JUST 35:33.827 --> 35:36.347 ASSUME, "WELL SEE THE PROPHETS THEY MISSED IT. I DON'T BELIEVE 35:36.347 --> 35:39.018 IN ALL THIS PROPHETIC STUFF. NOBODY HEARD THIS." WELL WAIT A 35:39.018 --> 35:41.806 MINUTE, MAYBE YOU DIDN'T HEAR IT. BUT I GUARANTEE YOU 35:41.806 --> 35:45.168 SOMEWHERE THERE WAS A PROPHETIC UTTERANCE, A PROPHETIC WARNING, 35:45.168 --> 35:51.708 A PROPHETIC MESSAGE SOMEWHERE THAT GOD WAS SAYING IT. AMEN. DO 35:51.708 --> 35:54.317 YOU KNOW THERE WAS IN OUR CHURCH, AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANY 35:54.317 --> 35:57.556 OF YOU WOULD BE HERE, BUT SIX MONTHS BEFORE COLUMBINE 35:57.556 --> 36:00.947 HAPPENED, I WAS CAUGHT UP IN A VISION AND I WAS TAKING OVER THE 36:00.947 --> 36:04.668 SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND I SAW THE SPIRIT OF 36:04.668 --> 36:10.637 TERROR. AND GUESS WHERE IT CAME FROM? IT CAME FROM Y2K FEAR. 36:10.637 --> 36:12.838 THAT'S WHAT THE LORD SAID, BECAUSE I GOT A LOT OF HEAT BACK 36:12.838 --> 36:16.907 IN 1999, WHEN I HAD A VISITATION FROM THE LORD. IT WAS ON MY 36:16.907 --> 36:20.927 SON'S BIRTHDAY, AUGUST 23RD OF 1999. AND THE LORD, I HAD A 36:20.927 --> 36:24.378 VISITATION, AND HE SAID, "YOU TELL THE PEOPLE Y2K WILL NOT BE 36:24.378 --> 36:28.306 AS THEY ARE PROGNOSTICATING, AS THEY ARE DECLARING." AND I SAID, 36:28.306 --> 36:30.137 "WELL, LORD, DO WE NEED TO STIR UP?" HE SAID, "DON'T WASTE YOUR 36:30.137 --> 36:34.817 TIME." AND BOY, WE WERE ON THE RADIO BACK THEN. WE HAD PEOPLE 36:34.817 --> 36:37.878 WRITING HATE MAIL AND ALL KINDS OF STUFF. WE EVEN HAD ONE 36:37.878 --> 36:40.788 PASTORAL GUY WRITE AND SAID, "WELL, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO 36:40.788 --> 36:44.418 WHEN YOU HAVE DECEIVED YOUR PEOPLE AND YOU HAVE NO FOOD AND 36:44.418 --> 36:52.398 NO WATER AND THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO GO?" WELL, I WOULD HAVE LOVED 36:52.398 --> 36:55.788 TO HAVE GONE TO HIS CHURCH AND FLICKERED HIS LIGHTS, YOU KNOW. 36:55.788 --> 37:01.907 BUT HERE'S WHAT GOD SAID. IN THE VISITATION, HE SAID THAT THE 37:01.907 --> 37:06.768 SPIRIT OF FEAR WAS TRYING TO CROSS THE NEW MILLENNIAL LINE 37:06.768 --> 37:11.418 AHEAD OF THE MOMENTUM OF THE CHURCH. AND AS A RESULT, GOD 37:11.418 --> 37:16.157 SAID THE FEAR WOULD BE TERROR. AND YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED 37:16.157 --> 37:20.688 SHORTLY AFTER, THE Y2K, WHERE PEOPLE JUST ABSOLUTELY HOOK, 37:20.688 --> 37:26.748 LINE AND SINKER, ABSOLUTELY DOVE INTO FEAR MONGERING. WE'VE 37:26.748 --> 37:32.838 NEVER, WE'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO RECAPTURE A CERTAIN LEVEL OF 37:32.838 --> 37:38.567 FEAR. IN FACT, I THINK IT'S GOTTEN GREATER. SO MY POINT IS, 37:38.567 --> 37:41.876 LOOK, GOD DID SPEAK IT. SOMETIMES EITHER YOU DIDN'T HEAR 37:41.876 --> 37:45.918 IT, YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT, RIGHT? OR HERE'S ANOTHER ONE. WHEN 37:45.918 --> 37:48.018 COLUMBINE HAPPENED, MAN, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I'M 37:48.018 --> 37:51.347 HEARING THIS AND I REMEMBER IT THAT NIGHT. I'M LIKE, I SAID, 37:51.347 --> 37:54.137 "GUYS, I SEE COLORADO AND I SEE THIS WORD COLUMBINE. I DON'T 37:54.137 --> 37:56.327 EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO." SO WE PRAYED. THAT'S THE BEST THING 37:56.327 --> 38:01.338 YOU CAN DO. BUT SOMETIMES I'VE HEARD THINGS AND I REFUSE TO 38:01.338 --> 38:05.327 SPEAK IT. THERE ARE TIMES WHERE I HAVE BEEN IN A MEETING AND 38:05.327 --> 38:08.447 I'VE HEARD GOD SPEAK TO ME AND HE SAID SOMETHING AND I WAS SO 38:08.447 --> 38:12.407 AFRAID OF THE FACES OF THE PEOPLE. I DIDN'T WANT TO BE 38:12.407 --> 38:17.507 WRITTEN UP AGAIN AND MISUNDERSTOOD AND I HELD ON TO 38:17.507 --> 38:20.208 IT AND I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND I'VE HAD TO GO BACK AND I'VE 38:20.208 --> 38:22.878 HAD TO DEAL WITH GOD. HE SAID, "EITHER YOU'RE GONNA SPEAK FOR 38:22.878 --> 38:26.777 ME OR YOU'RE NOT. ARE YOU GONNA SPEAK IT?" I'M TRYING, LORD, I'M 38:26.777 --> 38:29.117 TRYING. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? AND HE'S VERY PATIENT. HE'S VERY 38:29.117 --> 38:31.878 GOOD. BUT HERE'S THE POINT. SOMETIMES IT'S NOT THAT GOD 38:31.878 --> 38:35.193 DIDN'T REVEAL THE SECRETS. AGAIN, EITHER YOU DIDN'T KNOW OF 38:35.193 --> 38:39.947 IT, GOD SPOKE IT, BUT YOU DIDN'T RECEIVE IT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T 38:39.947 --> 38:45.498 UNDERSTAND IT. OR MAYBE THE VESSEL DIDN'T COMMUNICATE IT. 38:45.498 --> 38:50.237 SO, ALRIGHT, BUT IT'S NEVER ON GOD'S PART. NEVER ON GOD'S PART. 38:50.237 --> 38:52.518 ALRIGHT, I WANT TO GET INTO SOME OTHER THINGS HERE. I WANT YOU TO 38:52.518 --> 38:57.257 LOOK AT JEREMIAH 1, AND I WANT YOU TO LOOK ABOUT THE PROPHET 38:57.257 --> 38:59.748 REAL QUICK. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS A VERY, YOU KNOW WHAT, 38:59.748 --> 39:02.688 LET ME, BEFORE WE DO THAT, LET'S GO BACK TO EZEKIEL SEVEN. I WANT 39:02.688 --> 39:05.117 TO HIT THIS ONE, ACTUALLY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I HAVE 39:05.117 --> 39:08.088 ENOUGH TIME TO SHARE WHAT I REALLY WANT TO KIND OF GET INTO. 39:08.088 --> 39:13.306 IN EZEKIEL 7, NOTICE WHAT THE JOB OF THE PROPHET IS. THIS IS 39:13.306 --> 39:16.757 WHY WHEN PEOPLE COME AGAINST THE PROPHETIC MOVEMENT OR THEY COME 39:16.757 --> 39:20.867 AGAINST CERTAIN PROPHETS THAT ARE TRUE PROPHETS, THE 39:20.867 --> 39:23.806 LEGITIMACY OF THE PROPHETIC MINISTRY TODAY, THEY DON'T 39:23.806 --> 39:28.938 REALIZE THAT GOD HAS SET IT INTO THE EARTH FOR A BENEFIT. NOW, I 39:28.938 --> 39:32.268 LIKE, I THINK IT IS, AND I DON'T OFTEN LIKE TO QUOTE FROM THE NIV 39:32.268 --> 39:36.797 BECAUSE I THINK THE NIV IS VERY INACCURATE ON MANY OF ITS 39:36.797 --> 39:40.007 TRANSLATIONS. BUT I DO WANT TO PUT UP THE NIV BECAUSE I DO 39:40.007 --> 39:43.938 BELIEVE, AS I'VE LOOKED OVER DIFFERENT TRANSLATIONS, IT SAYS 39:43.938 --> 39:47.358 WHAT I REALLY THINK IT NEEDS TO SAY, AND THAT IS THIS, IT SAYS 39:47.358 --> 39:51.556 DISASTER UPON DISASTER. SO THIS ONE SAYS MISCHIEF UPON MISCHIEF, 39:51.556 --> 39:54.768 THEY CAN KEEP IT UP THERE, BUT OTHER TRANSLATIONS SAY DISASTERS 39:54.768 --> 39:58.637 UPON DISASTERS. HOW MANY ARE SEEING DISASTERS IN THE EARTH? 39:58.637 --> 40:00.648 OKAY, HOW MANY ARE SEEING MISCHIEF? SO YOU CAN KEEP THAT 40:00.648 --> 40:04.338 VERSE OF KING JAMES UP THERE. BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO RUMOR 40:04.338 --> 40:07.157 SHALL BE UPON RUMORS. HOW MANY RUMORS ARE OUT THERE? 40:07.157 --> 40:11.027 CONSPIRACIES, ALL KINDS OF CRAZY THINGS. PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT 40:11.027 --> 40:16.715 TO HEAR. ALRIGHT, THAT'S WHAT OUR SOCIETY IS RIGHT NOW. PEOPLE 40:16.715 --> 40:18.018 ARE LIKE, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE." THERE'S A LOT OF 40:18.018 --> 40:21.588 DISASTERS, A LOT OF MISCHIEF, A LOT OF RUMORS. THEN THEY SHALL 40:21.588 --> 40:26.567 SEEK A VISION OF THE PROPHET. BUT NOTICE THE LAW SHALL PERISH 40:26.567 --> 40:29.777 FROM THE PRIEST. IN OTHER WORDS, THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT EVEN 40:29.777 --> 40:33.047 GOING TO BE MENTIONED, SPOKEN, EVEN FROM THE PRIESTHOOD. AND 40:33.047 --> 40:36.313 EVEN THE COUNSEL FROM THE ANCIENTS. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU'RE 40:36.313 --> 40:38.744 NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO FIND GODLY COUNSEL. YOU'RE NOT EVEN 40:38.744 --> 40:42.134 GOING TO BE ABLE TO HEAR BIBLICAL TRUTH. AND THERE'S 40:42.134 --> 40:46.333 GOING TO COME A TIME WHERE GOD'S GOING TO SAY, "LOOK, I'M SHARING 40:46.333 --> 40:49.452 MY HEART. I'M REVEALING WHAT I WANT TO DO IN THE EARTH, AND I'M 40:49.452 --> 40:55.422 DOING IT THROUGH MY PROPHETS." OKAY? THAT'S HOW GOD CHOOSES IN 40:55.422 --> 40:59.083 TIMES OF MISCHIEF, TIMES OF DISASTER, WHEN THERE'S A LOT OF 40:59.083 --> 41:02.833 RUMORS, PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO HEAR, HE WILL ALWAYS INJECT 41:02.833 --> 41:08.534 HIS SECRETS, HIS SECRET INTO THE EARTH, SO THAT YOU KNOW WHAT IS 41:08.534 --> 41:13.813 TRUE AND WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. RIGHT? JEREMIAH 29:11 IS 41:13.813 --> 41:17.952 WRITTEN FOR A NATION. I HAVE PLANS FOR YOU TO GIVE YOU HOPE, 41:17.952 --> 41:20.324 TO GIVE YOU A FUTURE. ONE OF THE WAYS GOD DOES THIS THROUGH 41:20.324 --> 41:23.952 PROPHECY, HE GIVES YOU HOPE, HE GIVES YOU A FUTURE, AND WATCH 41:23.952 --> 41:27.163 THIS, TO GIVE YOU AN EXPECTED END. WE'RE NOT ALWAYS HAVING TO 41:27.163 --> 41:30.163 GUESS HOW THINGS ARE GOING TO TURN OUT. GOD WANTS TO TELL US 41:30.163 --> 41:32.682 AHEAD OF TIME, THIS IS HOW THIS IS GOING TO TURN OUT, THIS IS 41:32.682 --> 41:35.143 WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO, BUT YOU NEED TO PRAY. I REMEMBER WHEN 41:35.143 --> 41:38.534 GOD KEPT PROPHESYING ABOUT NETANYAHU. HE'S GOING TO BE 41:38.534 --> 41:42.043 RAISED UP AGAIN, AND PEOPLE WERE WRITING, "OH, DON'T YOU KNOW 41:42.043 --> 41:44.768 THAT THIS INDICTMENT, AND THIS AND THAT, AND HE'S DONE THIS AND 41:44.768 --> 41:48.463 THAT." AND YET GOD NEVER CHANGED HIS MIND, GOD NEVER CHANGED HIS 41:48.463 --> 41:50.833 WORD COMING OUT OF THIS MOUTH, AND HE KEPT SAYING, "I'M GOING 41:50.833 --> 41:53.233 TO RAISE HIM UP, HE'S GOING TO BE A BULWARK, HE'S GOING TO 41:53.233 --> 41:56.804 STAND EVEN WHEN THEY TRY TO COME THROUGH TUNNELS, EVEN WHEN THEY 41:56.804 --> 42:01.753 TRY TO COME AND STRIKE ISRAEL. I WILL RAISE UP THIS MAN WHO WILL 42:01.753 --> 42:05.472 BE LIKE IT WAS WITH DAVID AT ZIKLAG. HE'S GOING TO PURSUE, 42:05.472 --> 42:07.434 HE'S GOING TO OVERTAKE, AND WITHOUT FAILURE HE'S GOING TO 42:07.434 --> 42:10.603 RECOVER ALL." HOW MANY UNDERSTAND THAT? SO GOD WILL 42:10.603 --> 42:15.494 RAISE UP PROPHETIC VOICES SO THAT WE DO KNOW THE OUTCOME OF 42:15.494 --> 42:17.773 WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE EARTH. NOW I WANT YOU TO GO OVER 42:17.773 --> 42:25.333 TO JEREMIAH 1 AND I WANT YOU TO SEE WHAT PROPHETS ABSOLUTELY ARE 42:25.333 --> 42:30.103 SET TO DO. NOW NOT EVERY PROPHET IS SET TO BE A PROPHET OF 42:30.103 --> 42:37.333 EVENTS. OKAY, I'VE SEEN SOME PROPHETIC VOICES AND THIS IS 42:37.333 --> 42:42.134 JUST MY OPINION. I'M NOT CALLING ANYBODY OUT, BUT I'VE WATCHED 42:42.134 --> 42:46.483 WHERE SOME PROPHETIC VOICES IN THE PAST AND SOMETIMES EVEN 42:46.483 --> 42:51.764 TODAY, THEY'RE MORE OF AN ECHO. THEY'RE NOT GRACED TO SPEAK 42:51.764 --> 42:55.574 NATIONALLY. THEY'RE NOT CALLED TO REALLY BE A PROPHET OVER 42:55.574 --> 42:59.324 AMERICA OR OVER THE NATIONS OR THE NATIONS, BUT THEY FEEL LIKE 42:59.324 --> 43:02.623 THEY HAVE TO JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON AND DO SO. THAT'S WHY 43:02.623 --> 43:05.713 A LOT OF THEM STARTED APOLOGIZING WHEN THE HEAT GOT ON 43:05.713 --> 43:08.773 BECAUSE DID YOU REALLY HEAR IT? BECAUSE IF YOU REALLY HAVE THE 43:08.773 --> 43:12.253 HEART OF GOD, THE MOST SACRED THING THAT CAN BE GIVEN TO YOU, 43:12.253 --> 43:15.344 THE HEART OF GOD, AND HE SHARES THE SECRET WITH YOU, AND HE 43:15.344 --> 43:19.034 TELLS YOU SOMETHING, YOU HAVE TO HOLD ON TO THAT WORD UNTIL HE 43:19.034 --> 43:22.932 TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. NOT BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S WRONG, YOU 43:22.932 --> 43:26.114 FEEL THE PRESSURE FROM THE PEOPLE, CHANCES ARE YOU PROBABLY 43:26.114 --> 43:29.652 REALLY BECAUSE I KNOW WHEN I HEAR SOMETHING, AND I KNOW THAT 43:29.652 --> 43:34.063 I KNOW, I DON'T GIVE A ROYAL RAT'S RUMP WHAT ANYBODY WRITES, 43:34.063 --> 43:38.083 WHAT ANYBODY SAYS, I ONLY CARE THAT I'M HONORING HIM, AND THAT 43:38.083 --> 43:41.773 I'M STICKING TO WHAT HE SAID, AND I'M NOT BACKING OFF. BECAUSE 43:41.773 --> 43:44.293 I'VE SEEN TOO MANY PROPHECIES COME TO PASS. BUT WHAT I'M 43:44.293 --> 43:47.293 SAYING IS PEOPLE STEP INTO A PLACE THAT IS NOT, THEY'RE NOT 43:47.293 --> 43:50.023 GRACE TO BE. AND THE LATEST THING IS THIS, YOU KNOW, LET'S 43:50.023 --> 43:54.253 GIVE NATIONAL WORDS, LET'S, YOU KNOW, BE CAREFUL. YOU DON'T WANT 43:54.253 --> 43:57.643 TO STEP INTO AN AUTHORITY THAT HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN TO YOU BY 43:57.643 --> 44:01.182 JESUS, THE LORD OF THE CHURCH. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. JESUS IS 44:01.182 --> 44:04.152 THE ONE THAT SETS PROPHETS IN THE CHURCH. AND WHEN HE SETS 44:04.152 --> 44:08.114 THEM IN THE CHURCH, IT'S HIM WHO GIVES WHAT'S CALLED POSITIONAL 44:08.114 --> 44:12.523 AUTHORITY AND GRACE. YOU DON'T POSITION YOURSELF. JESUS TALKED 44:12.523 --> 44:16.063 ABOUT THAT IN LUKE 14. HE SAID IF YOU GO MARCHING UP TO THE 44:16.063 --> 44:20.293 FRONT ROW OF THE SEAT OF PROPHET OVER THE NATION, PROPHET TO 44:20.293 --> 44:23.623 AMERICA, AND GOD HASN'T POSITIONED YOU THERE, HE HASN'T 44:23.623 --> 44:26.713 SEATED YOU THERE, YOU'RE GOING TO GET MOVED. YOU'RE GOING TO 44:26.713 --> 44:35.563 GET EMBARRASSED BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE INVITED GRACE OR 44:35.563 --> 44:39.943 INVITATION BY THE HOLY ONE TO SIT THERE. AND SO YOU'RE GOING 44:39.943 --> 44:42.793 TO GET MOVED. AND THAT'S WHAT HE TALKS ABOUT. HOW MANY OF YOU 44:42.793 --> 44:49.244 EVER, YOU SAW AN OPEN SEAT IN FRONT OF AN EVENT OR TABLE AND 44:49.244 --> 44:51.432 THEN YOU GET MOVED? HAVE YOU EVER HAD THAT HAPPEN TO YOU? I 44:51.432 --> 44:54.163 HAD THAT HAPPEN TO ME AT A BENNY HINN MEETING. I WAS LIKE 22, 44:54.163 --> 44:57.492 MAN. AND THERE WAS AN OPEN SEAT AND I WAS SO EXCITED. I RAN TO 44:57.492 --> 45:01.273 THE FRONT, SAT DOWN IN THE SEAT AND I'M LIKE, "OH YEAH. COME ON 45:01.273 --> 45:03.313 GOD." AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE USHERED RIGHT IN FRONT OF 45:03.313 --> 45:08.353 EVERYBODY ON THE MICROPHONE, "HEY, YOU NEED TO MOVE. THAT'S 45:08.353 --> 45:15.043 FOR BENNY HINN'S TEAM." WHO'S HE TALKING TO? AND THEN YOU ACT 45:15.043 --> 45:20.054 LIKE YOU DROPPED A QUARTER. "OH, I JUST SAW YOU." AND YOU WITH 45:20.054 --> 45:23.922 THE RED FACE GO WALKING AWAY. I WAS LIKE 22. I WAS STUPID. BUT 45:23.922 --> 45:27.490 ANYWAY, LOOK AT JEREMIAH 1. DON'T DO THAT STUFF, MAN. AND 45:27.490 --> 45:30.614 DON'T DO IT IN THE BEFORE I FORMED YOU IN THE BELLY, I KNEW 45:30.614 --> 45:36.222 YOU. AND I KNEW YOU. AND BEFORE YOU CAME FORTH OUT OF THE WOMB, 45:36.222 --> 45:41.202 I SANCTIFIED THEE AND I ORDAINED YOU AS A PROPHET UNTO THE 45:41.202 --> 45:44.744 NATIONS. SO, OKAY, SO RIGHT THERE, WHO WAS THE ONE THAT GAVE 45:44.744 --> 45:48.103 HIM THE CALL? DID HE COME OUT BECAUSE HE COULD NOW HAVE A 45:48.103 --> 45:52.063 PODCAST AND DECIDE THAT HE'S GOT FOLLOWERS AND SO NOW I'M GOING 45:52.063 --> 45:55.574 TO START PROPHESYING ABOUT NATIONAL EVENTS. BECAUSE I'M 45:55.574 --> 45:57.733 LISTENING TO WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING. AND LISTEN, THERE'S 45:57.733 --> 46:00.702 A COUPLE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE TO WATCH SOMETIMES BECAUSE WHATEVER 46:00.702 --> 46:05.324 I PROPHESY, THEY COME OUT WITH IT ABOUT TWO TO THREE DAYS LATER 46:05.324 --> 46:09.043 AND I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW, CAN YOU EVER JUST GET IT YOURSELF? AND 46:09.043 --> 46:11.893 SO I JUST QUIT LISTENING TO THEM. SO ANYWAY, AND MAYBE 46:11.893 --> 46:14.893 THEY'RE GETTING DEPOSITED, I DON'T KNOW. BUT BEFORE I FORMED 46:14.893 --> 46:18.074 THE IN THE BELLY, I KNEW YOU. SO I CALLED YOU TO BE A PROPHET 46:18.074 --> 46:22.634 UNTO THE NATIONS. SO WHAT IS THEIR CALLING? A PROPHET TO THE 46:22.634 --> 46:25.094 NATIONS. NOW I WANT YOU TO, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE TAKING 46:25.094 --> 46:28.565 NOTES, TO REALIZE THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF PROPHETIC 46:30.824 --> 46:34.963 POSITIONING BY JESUS. THERE'S PROPHETS TO NATIONS, JEREMIAH 46:34.963 --> 46:39.014 1:10. THERE'S PROPHETS TO THE BODY OF CHRIST, WHERE THEY WILL 46:39.014 --> 46:42.554 NEVER PROPHESY NECESSARILY. I'M NOT SAYING THAT GOD WILL NEVER 46:42.554 --> 46:46.603 GIVE THEM A WORD, BUT THEY ARE A PROPHET TO THE BODY OF CHRIST, 46:46.603 --> 46:51.972 WHERE THEY ALWAYS HAVE A WORD FOR WHAT GOD IS SAYING TO HIS 46:51.972 --> 46:56.534 CHURCH. IT'S NOT SO MUCH THE NATION, OKAY? I'VE WATCHED YOU, 46:56.534 --> 47:01.844 JOHN, MANY YEARS GET WORDS FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST AND FOR THE 47:01.844 --> 47:05.534 CHURCH. I'VE EVEN SEEN YOU TAP INTO THINGS, EVEN INTO EVENTS. 47:06.824 --> 47:10.902 BUT THERE ARE SOME FOLK WHERE THEY WILL JUST LITERALLY, 47:10.902 --> 47:14.922 ABSOLUTELY, MAN, THEY ARE HEARING GOD FOR HIS CHURCH. I 47:14.922 --> 47:16.862 MET A PROPHET OVER THE BODY OF CHRIST THE OTHER DAY AND HE 47:16.862 --> 47:20.413 SAID, "MAN, GOD SHOWED ME THE CHURCH IS WAKING UP. THE REMNANT 47:20.413 --> 47:24.583 IS THE ONE THAT IS CAUSING THE CHURCH TO BE AWAKENED." AND HE 47:24.583 --> 47:26.503 WAS SHARING SOME OTHER THINGS AND I WAS LIKE, "MAN, YOU ARE 47:26.503 --> 47:29.983 RIGHT IN LINE WITH WHAT I SENSE." THERE'S PROPHETS TO THE 47:29.983 --> 47:33.235 LOCAL CHURCH, OKAY? AND BY THE WAY, BODY OF CHRIST IS ACTS 47:33.235 --> 47:40.603 15:32. ACTS 13:1, YOU REMEMBER SAUL BEFORE HE WAS NAMED PAUL? 47:40.603 --> 47:44.922 HE WAS SAUL AND HE WAS LEARNING IN THE CHURCH OF ANTIOCH. AND HE 47:44.922 --> 47:48.284 WAS A TEACHER AND HE WAS A PROPHET AND HE WAS FUNCTIONING 47:48.284 --> 47:51.432 IN THE LOCAL CHURCH. AND THE REASON WHY A LOCAL CHURCH 47:51.432 --> 47:55.753 CONNECTION, IF YOU WANT TO GROW PROPHETICALLY, IS BECAUSE IT 47:55.753 --> 47:58.123 GIVES YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE GROOMED. IT GETS YOU AN 47:58.123 --> 48:01.393 OPPORTUNITY TO DO WHAT I CALL JESUS'S FIRST MIRACLE. THE 48:01.393 --> 48:05.023 GOVERNOR OF THE FEAST, WHERE YOU'RE BEING FED, HAS AN 48:05.023 --> 48:10.514 OPPORTUNITY TO DO A TASTE TEST ON YOUR CHARACTER, TASTE TEST ON 48:10.514 --> 48:14.384 HOW ABOUT YOUR MARRIAGE, HOW YOU HANDLE YOUR MONEY, HOW YOU 48:14.384 --> 48:19.094 HANDLE YOUR MORALITY, A TASTE TEST, HOW ABOUT THIS, ON HOW 48:19.094 --> 48:23.413 YOUR CHARACTER IS, BUT HOW ABOUT YOUR GIFTING? AND NOT JUST IN 48:23.413 --> 48:26.563 YOUR GIFTING, BUT HOW DO YOU DISPLAY YOUR GIFTING? I TOLD YOU 48:26.563 --> 48:29.413 YEARS AGO, I HAD TO HAVE SOMEBODY CORRECT ME, BECAUSE I 48:29.413 --> 48:32.563 WOULD PROPHESY ACCURATE WORDS IN THE CHURCH, BUT THEY HAD TO COME 48:32.563 --> 48:35.172 AND SAY, "PASTOR HANK, YOU WALK LIKE A CHICKEN WHEN YOU 48:35.172 --> 48:37.722 PROPHESY." PLEASE DON'T TELL ME I STILL DO THAT. BUT I DIDN'T 48:37.722 --> 48:43.663 REALIZE I WAS, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, ER, ER, ER, ER, ER, ER." 48:43.663 --> 48:48.043 OKAY, YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. HE SAID, "IT'S HINDERING YOUR 48:48.043 --> 48:50.804 GIFT." OKAY, SO THERE WAS PROPHETS OVER LOCAL CHURCHES, 48:50.804 --> 48:54.583 PROPHETS OVER EVENTS. THERE ARE PROPHETS THAT GOD WILL SPEAK TO 48:54.583 --> 48:59.353 THEM ABOUT SPECIFIC EVENTS. AGABUS HAD A PROPHECY ABOUT A 48:59.353 --> 49:05.833 FAMINE. THERE'S PROPHETS OR PROPHECY TO INDIVIDUALS. NOW 49:05.833 --> 49:08.443 JUST BECAUSE YOU PROPHESY TO AN INDIVIDUAL DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE A 49:08.443 --> 49:12.643 PROPHET. BUT I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN PROPHETS THAT 49:12.643 --> 49:15.494 THEY'LL NEVER PROPHESY A WORD TO THE BODY OF CHRIST. THEY'LL 49:15.494 --> 49:18.222 NEVER PROPHESY, BUT THEY ARE PROPHETS, MAN. THEY HAVE A GIFT 49:18.222 --> 49:21.614 AND A GRACE TO SPEAK TO INDIVIDUALS. YOU KNOW, I USED TO 49:21.614 --> 49:26.143 PROPHESY OVER INDIVIDUALS A LOT MORE THAN I DO NOW. AND I ASKED 49:26.143 --> 49:28.273 THE LORD ABOUT IT. AND I SAID, "GOD," AND HE WAS THE ONE THAT 49:28.273 --> 49:33.222 TOLD ME, HE SAID, "UNLESS I MOVE YOU THAT DIRECTION, HANK, I NEED 49:33.222 --> 49:36.853 YOUR ATTENTION AND YOUR EAR AND YOUR VOICE, YOUR WORDS, YOUR 49:36.853 --> 49:40.094 MOUTH, YOUR TONGUE. I NEED IT OVER THE NATION. I NEED IT OVER 49:40.094 --> 49:43.304 THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH." I USED TO TRAVEL 40 TO 50 TIMES 49:43.304 --> 49:47.114 OUT OF THE COUNTRY TO FOREIGN NATIONS A YEAR. AND GOD SAID TO 49:47.114 --> 49:50.983 ME, HE SAID, "FOR RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE TO BE IN AMERICA, AND YOU 49:50.983 --> 49:55.063 ARE TO NOT BE SO MUCH THIS WAY, BUT YOU ARE TO BE THIS WAY AND 49:55.063 --> 49:58.963 THEN THIS WAY, WHATEVER I TELL YOU." AND SO IF I'M CONSTANTLY 49:58.963 --> 50:02.233 TRYING TO DO THIS ALL THE TIME AND PROPHESY TO INDIVIDUALS, I 50:02.233 --> 50:05.623 WILL STEP OUT OF A CERTAIN GRACE THAT GOD HAS CALLED ME TO. I 50:05.623 --> 50:09.284 HAVE TO HEAR, I HAVE TO WATCH, AND I HAVE TO SPEAK WHAT GOD IS 50:09.284 --> 50:14.773 SAYING AT A LEVEL THAT IS WHAT HE'S ASKING ME TO DO. DOES THAT 50:14.773 --> 50:18.523 MAKE SENSE? NOW IT DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T PROPHESY OVER PEOPLE. I 50:18.523 --> 50:21.764 USED TO DO IT A LOT MORE. WHAT HAPPENED? YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND 50:21.764 --> 50:27.103 ASSIGNMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES CHANGE. DON'T JUST KEEP DOING 50:27.103 --> 50:30.313 SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE IT THAT WAY. THAT'S HOW YOU 50:30.313 --> 50:36.373 GET INTO, THAT'S WHY CAMPS GET INTO BECOMING DEAD. BECAUSE 50:36.373 --> 50:39.043 YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN GOING AROUND THE MOUNTAIN THE WHOLE TIME AND 50:39.043 --> 50:41.952 GOD SAYS, "I'VE BEEN WANTING YOU TO GO TO YOUR PROMISED LAND AND 50:41.952 --> 50:44.384 YOU KEEP GOING AROUND THE SAME OLD MOUNTAIN DOING THE SAME OLD 50:44.384 --> 50:48.213 THING." SO I ALWAYS TRY TO LISTEN TO GOD ON WHAT AM I 50:48.213 --> 50:52.744 SUPPOSED TO DO. IT'S NOT MY GIFT, IT'S YOURS. IT'S NOT MY 50:52.744 --> 50:57.217 OFFICE, IT'S YOURS. ALWAYS REMEMBER. ALRIGHT, NOW LET'S GO 50:57.217 --> 51:00.003 ON TO THE NEXT ONE. LOOK HERE, THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO GET INTO 51:00.003 --> 51:07.443 TONIGHT. LOOK AT JEREMIAH 1:7-9, "AND WHATEVER I COMMAND YOU, YOU 51:07.443 --> 51:12.213 SHALL SPEAK." OKAY, NOTICE IT'S A COMMAND. "YOU ARE UNDER ORDERS 51:12.213 --> 51:15.603 FROM HEAVEN." THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU GO UP RUDELY AND YOU SAY, 51:15.603 --> 51:20.014 "THUS SAITH THE LORD, I'M UNDER ORDERS FROM HEAVEN TO SPEAK." 51:20.014 --> 51:23.974 NOW, I'VE HAD VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY OR TIMES AS A 51:23.974 --> 51:27.123 PROPHET WHERE I'VE HAD TO BECAUSE SOMEBODY WASN'T 51:27.123 --> 51:31.143 LISTENING. THEY WERE IN REBELLION. THEY WERE IN DANGER. 51:31.143 --> 51:34.804 AND IF I DIDN'T TELL THEM, THEY WERE GOING TO HURT THEMSELVES OR 51:34.804 --> 51:38.043 SOMETHING WOULD REALLY HAPPEN. AND I'VE HAD PEOPLE WHEN I WOULD 51:38.043 --> 51:40.893 TELL THEM, I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU I'M UNDER ORDERS FROM HEAVEN. I 51:40.893 --> 51:43.653 HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS. THIS BOTHERS ME TO TELL YOU THIS, BUT 51:43.653 --> 51:47.164 I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LIKE IT. AND 51:47.164 --> 51:53.673 I'VE HAD THEM SPIT IN MY FACE. ONE GUY DID. HE SPIT IN MY FACE 51:53.673 --> 51:58.083 AND THEN CALLED ME FALSE AND HE WAS DEAD WITHIN A WEEK. BUT 51:58.083 --> 52:03.514 HERE'S THE POINT. YOU HAVE TO BE VERY, VERY UNDER AUTHORITY, BUT 52:03.514 --> 52:06.664 YOU ALSO DON'T USE THAT. DON'T TAKE THAT AS A LIBERTY WHERE I'M 52:06.664 --> 52:09.184 UNDER COMMAND OF GOD. I HAVE TO SPEAK THIS. I KNOW PEOPLE THAT 52:09.184 --> 52:11.103 GO UP TO PASTORS AND TRY TO REBUKE THEM. WELL, THEY'RE 52:11.103 --> 52:14.494 TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER. YOU KNOW, DON'T DO THAT KIND OF STUFF. BUT 52:14.494 --> 52:18.603 THERE IS A CERTAIN SACREDNESS TO WHERE WHEN YOU BEGIN TO WALK 52:18.603 --> 52:22.833 WITH GOD THAT YOU WILL FEEL COMPELLED. YOU KNOW HOW I KNOW 52:22.833 --> 52:27.063 THAT GOD SPEAKS TO ME AND I'M UNDER ORDERS FROM HEAVEN? IS 52:27.063 --> 52:30.094 HE'S VERY PATIENT WITH ME. YOU KNOW WHAT HE DOES WITH ME? I 52:30.094 --> 52:34.443 LITERALLY FEEL THIS SENSATION INSIDE OF ME LIKE, IT'S LIKE, 52:34.443 --> 52:36.423 YOU EVER HAD IT WHERE LIKE YOU'RE GETTING READY TO SPEAK OR 52:36.423 --> 52:40.264 SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, OR YOU'RE GETTING READY TO RUN A RACE. YOU 52:40.264 --> 52:43.833 FEEL THIS IN CONTINUAL INTENSITY AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE GOD IS 52:43.833 --> 52:46.204 PUTTING HIS THUMB ON ME. YOU HAVE TO SAY IT. THERE'S SO MANY 52:46.204 --> 52:49.534 TIMES I'M STANDING OVER THERE AND I FEEL, I DON'T WANT TO SAY 52:49.534 --> 52:51.844 MY HEART RACES BECAUSE IT DOESN'T, BUT I CAN FEEL THIS 52:51.844 --> 52:57.003 CONSTANT PRESS OF GOD ON ME. HANK, YOU HAVE TO SAY THIS. THIS 52:57.003 --> 53:01.023 HAS TO COME OUT. AND SOMETIMES I ONLY KNOW A PIECE OF IT. I DON'T 53:01.023 --> 53:03.784 KNOW THE WHOLE THING. SO YOU HAVE TO JUST KIND OF PRIME THE 53:03.784 --> 53:06.295 PUMP AND THEN LET IT COME. HOW MANY EVER HAD THAT HAPPEN TO 53:06.295 --> 53:09.813 YOU? OKAY, NOW WATCH THIS. THE PART I WANT YOU TO HEAR IS, LOOK 53:09.813 --> 53:12.367 AT THIS, BE NOT AFRAID OF THEIR FACES. IF YOU WANT TO FLOW IN 53:12.367 --> 53:16.744 THE PROPHETIC AND YOU WANT TO BE ACCURATE, YOU GOT TO BE CAREFUL 53:16.744 --> 53:19.833 BECAUSE YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE A CRITIC. NOW, IF THE 53:19.833 --> 53:22.983 PASTOR TELLS YOU DON'T PROPHESY IN HIS CHURCH TO PEOPLE, DON'T 53:22.983 --> 53:27.153 PROPHESY IN THE PARKING LOT, ALL RIGHT, THAT'S HIS CHURCH, IT'S 53:27.153 --> 53:31.623 HIS PEOPLE. BUT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IS THERE COMES A POINT 53:31.623 --> 53:38.193 WHERE YOU CANNOT LET FEAR KEEP YOU FROM BEING USED OF GOD. IT'S 53:38.193 --> 53:41.134 THE THING THAT I POINTED OUT IN ROMANS 8, WHERE IT SAYS THAT 53:41.134 --> 53:44.103 THOSE THAT ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE LED BY THE 53:44.103 --> 53:47.224 SPIRIT, YOU'RE CHILDREN OF GOD. AND YOU'VE NOT BEEN GIVEN THE 53:47.224 --> 53:50.403 SPIRIT OF BONDAGE AGAIN UNDER FEAR. WELL, WHY DID IT MENTION 53:50.403 --> 53:54.063 FEAR IN THE SAME CONTEXT OF BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT? BECAUSE 53:54.063 --> 53:56.793 TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO TRUST THAT GOD WILL SPEAK TO 53:56.793 --> 54:00.724 YOU, THAT GOD WILL SHOW YOU THINGS, GOD WILL REVEAL THINGS 54:00.724 --> 54:03.753 TO YOU. SO YOU DON'T BE MOVED BY THEIR FACES, BUT WATCH THIS, 54:03.753 --> 54:07.443 "FOR I AM WITH YOU TO DELIVER YOU," SAYETH THE LORD, "AND THEN 54:07.443 --> 54:10.594 THE LORD PUT FORTH HIS HAND," AND WATCH THIS, "TOUCHED MY 54:10.594 --> 54:16.173 MOUTH. AND THE LORD SAID TO ME, 'BEHOLD, I'VE PUT MY WORDS IN 54:16.173 --> 54:19.983 YOUR MOUTH.'" SO YOU COULD SAY IT THIS WAY. GO OVER TO 2 KINGS 54:19.983 --> 54:26.164 4. YOU COULD SAY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT GOD DOES IS HE, IT'S 54:26.164 --> 54:31.264 CALLED FACE TO FACE, HEART TO HEART, MOUTH TO MOUTH. PEOPLE 54:31.264 --> 54:35.134 OFTEN SAY TO ME, PASTOR HANK, HOW DO I INCREASE THE VOICE OF 54:35.134 --> 54:39.603 GOD? HOW DO I GET MORE VISIONS AND DREAMS? I ALREADY TOLD YOU, 54:39.603 --> 54:43.563 COME UP HIGHER, ALRIGHT? NOW WHEN YOU COME UP HIGHER, WHEN 54:43.563 --> 54:46.833 YOU ARE DETERMINED THAT YOU'RE GOING TO COME UP HIGHER IN YOUR 54:46.833 --> 54:50.494 SPIRITUAL WALK, IN YOUR SPIRITUAL DETERMINATION, YOUR 54:50.494 --> 54:54.543 SPIRITUAL DRIVE, WHEN YOU DETERMINE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO 54:54.543 --> 54:58.563 LITERALLY GO TO ANOTHER LEVEL IN THE THINGS OF GOD, ONE OF THE 54:58.563 --> 55:05.074 THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO IS WHAT THE 55:05.074 --> 55:08.643 APOSTLE JOHN REALIZED. I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU THAT AND IT'S THIS. 55:08.643 --> 55:14.704 IT'S NOT SO MUCH ABOUT YOUR PROPHETIC WORDS, IT'S MORE ABOUT 55:14.704 --> 55:18.844 HIM WHO'S SEATED ON THE WHEN YOU MAKE IT ABOUT GOD, YOU WILL GO 55:18.844 --> 55:21.514 UP TO A WHOLE ANOTHER LEVEL. NOW I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A KEY. 55:21.514 --> 55:30.213 LOOK AT 2 KINGS 4:31-36. HOW DO YOU GET GOD TO PUT HIS WORDS IN 55:30.213 --> 55:34.563 YOUR MOUTH? HOW DO YOU GET GOD TO SHARE HIS HEART WITH YOU SO 55:34.563 --> 55:39.213 THAT YOU CAN BE A VESSEL? YOU CAN BE USED OF GOD. OKAY? NOW 55:39.213 --> 55:44.943 WATCH THIS. GEHAZI HURRIED ON AHEAD AND LAID THE STAFF ON THE 55:44.943 --> 55:48.963 CHILD'S FACE. NOW THIS PART ALWAYS, IT'S AMAZING TO ME. I'VE 55:48.963 --> 55:52.233 STUDIED AND STUDIED AND STUDIED LOOKING FOR A REASON. BUT 55:52.233 --> 55:55.324 NOTHING HAPPENED. COME ON, HAVE YOU EVER HAD SOMETHING THAT YOU 55:55.324 --> 55:59.403 FELT TO DO PROPHETICALLY AND IT NEVER HAPPENED? IT NEVER CAME TO 55:59.403 --> 56:01.804 PASS? HAVE YOU EVER PROPHESIED SOMETHING AND FOR WHATEVER 56:01.804 --> 56:05.403 REASON IT DIDN'T WORK? HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE YOU WERE SUPPOSED 56:05.403 --> 56:08.914 TO DO SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, THAT YOU FELT LIKE YOU HEARD GOD SAY, 56:08.914 --> 56:14.974 BUT ULTIMATELY NOTHING HAPPENED, NO RESULTS. OKAY, IN THIS CASE, 56:14.974 --> 56:19.293 FOR WHATEVER REASON, HE WAS TOLD BY THE PROPHET, GRAB THE STAFF 56:19.293 --> 56:23.914 AND GO. AND THE STAFF, IT DIDN'T WORK. THERE WAS NO POWER, THERE 56:23.914 --> 56:27.184 WAS NO MANIFESTATION, THERE WAS NO RESULTS. AND I'VE HAD THAT 56:27.184 --> 56:31.204 HAPPEN BEFORE IN MY LIFE, WHERE, YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT, "MAN, I'M 56:31.204 --> 56:33.634 REALLY HEARING GOD." AND IT TURNED OUT, FOR WHATEVER REASON, 56:33.634 --> 56:37.114 IT DIDN'T WORK. AND SO I DON'T QUIT, I JUST GO BACK AND SAY, 56:37.114 --> 56:40.204 "LORD, YOU KNOW WHAT? I NEED YOU TO TEACH ME." AND SOMETIMES GOD 56:40.204 --> 56:43.503 WILL TELL ME WHY IT WORKED AND WHY IT DIDN'T WORK. AND 56:43.503 --> 56:46.233 SOMETIMES I JUST HAVE TO, I GUESS I'M GOING TO FIND OUT ONE 56:46.233 --> 56:48.003 DAY. I'VE HAD THAT HAPPEN WHERE I'VE PRAYED FOR PEOPLE IN THE 56:48.003 --> 56:51.034 HOSPITAL, AND I FELT LIKE I HEARD A WORD AND THEY WENT ON TO 56:51.034 --> 56:54.873 HEAVEN. I REMEMBER ONE TIME, MAN, THERE WAS ONE LADY WHERE 56:54.873 --> 56:59.344 SHE CALLED ME ON THE PHONE AND SHE WAS HYSTERICAL. AND A FRIEND 56:59.344 --> 57:04.623 OF HERS OR A RELATIVE HAD DIED. AND, NO, NOT DIED. THEY WERE IN 57:04.623 --> 57:09.423 A COMA. AND THE DOCTOR SAID THAT SHE WAS GOING TO DIE. AND THIS 57:09.423 --> 57:12.244 FRIEND OF MINE CALLED ME AND SAID, "LISTEN, THIS PERSON'S IN 57:12.244 --> 57:16.173 A COMA. AND HANK, THE DOCTORS ARE SAYING THAT ANY MINUTE SHE'S 57:16.173 --> 57:18.903 GOING TO DIE. AND SHE'S IN THIS COMA. SHE DOESN'T KNOW THE 57:18.903 --> 57:23.559 LORD." AND I SAID, "HOLD IT." I SAID, "THERE'S A PROBLEM." THEY 57:23.559 --> 57:25.384 SAID, "WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?" I SAID, "TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THE 57:25.384 --> 57:31.744 ROOM. GET EVERYBODY OUT OF THE ROOM AND DO IT NOW. ALRIGHT? AND 57:31.744 --> 57:34.804 COMMAND HER TO WAKE UP. AND THEN PREACH THE GOSPEL AND SHE'LL GET 57:34.804 --> 57:40.773 SAVED." IN FACT, THE LORD SAID SHE'LL DIE AT 11:30. THIS WAS 57:40.773 --> 57:42.664 LIKE 9:00 IN THE MORNING. SHE CALLS ME BACK AND SAYS, "PASTOR 57:42.664 --> 57:46.233 HANK, IT'S NOT WORKING. IT'S NOT WORKING. I'VE DONE IT. SHE'S 57:46.233 --> 57:53.373 STILL IN A COMA." AND I THOUGHT, "WHAT?" AND SHE GOES, "WE'RE 57:53.373 --> 57:56.463 ONLY ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY FROM WHEN YOU SAID THAT 57:56.463 --> 57:59.764 SHE'S GOING TO DIE," OR WHATEVER IT WAS. AND IT BOTHERED ME. I'M 57:59.764 --> 58:03.483 LIKE, "MAN, I CAN'T. THIS IS NO TIME TO MISS GOD." AND ALL OF A 58:03.483 --> 58:06.362 SUDDEN I HEARD THE HOLY SPIRIT SAY, "SHE DIDN'T DO WHAT YOU 58:06.362 --> 58:11.793 SAID." AND I SAID, "ARE PEOPLE STILL IN THE ROOM?" "YEAH, I 58:11.793 --> 58:14.253 DON'T HAVE THE HEART TO TELL THEM TO LEAVE." I SAID, "WELL, 58:14.253 --> 58:17.094 YOU CALLED ME AND YOU DON'T HAVE THE HEART TO TELL THEM TO LEAVE? 58:19.173 --> 58:21.784 YOU BETTER HAVE A HEART LIKE YOU SAID OR THAT PERSON IS GOING TO 58:21.784 --> 58:28.923 DIE AT 11:30 WITHOUT GOD. GET THEM OUT OF THE ROOM." "OKAY." 58:28.923 --> 58:38.134 SHE GOT HIM OUT. THE PERSON WOKE UP, LED HER TO JESUS, AND SHE 58:38.134 --> 58:43.414 DIED EXACTLY WHEN GOD SAID SHE WOULD. CLOSED HER EYES AND IN 58:43.414 --> 58:45.844 HEAVEN. SEE, YOU TALK ABOUT GETTING TO HEAVEN BY THE HAIR OF 58:45.844 --> 58:49.923 YOUR CHINNY CHIN CHIN. BUT AGAIN, IT MESSED WITH ME BECAUSE 58:49.923 --> 58:53.704 I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW, SO THERE ARE TIMES WHERE YOU PUT A STAFF ON, 58:53.704 --> 58:56.704 YOU PRAY A PRAYER AND IT DOESN'T WORK, BUT THERE'S ALSO TIMES 58:56.704 --> 58:59.463 WHERE THERE'S A REASON. ARE WE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS? ARE WE 58:59.463 --> 59:02.943 REALLY, YOU KNOW, PUTTING OUR INTERPRETATION ON THINGS AND SO 59:02.943 --> 59:05.193 FORTH? I REMEMBER THERE WAS A GIRL THAT USED TO GO TO THIS 59:05.193 --> 59:08.974 CHURCH YEARS AGO, HER FAMILY, AND THEY MOVED, BUT THEY GAVE 59:08.974 --> 59:13.474 HER A LESSON, I THINK 8% OR 5%. DO YOU ALL REMEMBER THAT? MAYBE 59:13.474 --> 59:15.784 IT WAS LESS THAN 3%. I DON'T KNOW, THREE, IT WAS LESS THAN 59:15.784 --> 59:19.594 10-SOMETHING, ONE OF THE NUMBERS. AND THERE WAS NO 59:19.594 --> 59:24.213 VISIBLE SIGN AND CHANGE IN THIS LITTLE PREMATURE BABY. AND ONE 59:24.213 --> 59:27.034 DAY I WAS GETTING READY TO COME TO CHURCH AND I HEARD THE HOLY 59:27.034 --> 59:30.813 SPIRIT SAY, "HANK, I NEED YOU TO DO SOMETHING FOR ME BEFORE 59:30.813 --> 59:36.724 CHURCH. I NEED YOU, OR AFTER CHURCH, GO AND ROCK THIS BABY." 59:36.724 --> 59:40.083 SO I SAID, "OKAY." AND I WENT UP TO THE HOSPITAL AND YOU KNOW 59:40.083 --> 59:43.083 WHAT WAS SO CRAZY IS THE DOCTOR SAID, "NO, WE REALLY CAN'T TAKE 59:43.083 --> 59:47.284 HER OUT OF HER INCUBATOR. YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE HER LIFE BE TOO 59:47.284 --> 59:50.313 MUCH AT RISK." I SAID, "WELL, YOU ALREADY SAID SHE HAD LESS 59:50.313 --> 59:55.083 THAN 10 PERCENT. OKAY, YOU ALREADY LEFT HER UP TO DIE. SO 59:55.083 --> 59:57.364 WHAT DO YOU GOT TO LOSE?" HE SAID, "WELL, WE JUST NEED 59:57.364 --> 01:00:01.534 PARENTAL CONSENT." THE MOM SAID, "SURE." I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT 01:00:01.534 --> 01:00:03.903 DAY. THEY HANDED ME THAT LITTLE BABY. IT WAS THE SMALLEST LITTLE 01:00:03.903 --> 01:00:06.634 BABY I EVER HELD. I SAID, "LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?" HE 01:00:06.634 --> 01:00:11.643 SAID, "ROCK, AND EVERY TIME YOU ROCK, AND EVERY TIME YOU MOVE, I 01:00:11.643 --> 01:00:16.713 WILL BREATHE LIFE." AND THIS CHILD'S LIKE 20-SOMETHING TODAY. 01:00:16.713 --> 01:00:19.864 BUT YOU SEE, SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO FOLLOW WITH WHAT GOD 01:00:19.864 --> 01:00:24.813 SAYS. FAITH WITHOUT WORDS. YOU KNOW, AND I'VE LEARNED THIS BY 01:00:24.813 --> 01:00:28.563 WHEN YOU'RE SUBMITTED. SEE, I'VE SUBMITTED MYSELF. I DON'T JUST 01:00:28.563 --> 01:00:32.673 BE A RENEGADE. THAT'S THE WORST MISTAKE YOU CAN MAKE. GOD WON'T 01:00:32.673 --> 01:00:37.353 TRUST YOU AND PEOPLE WON'T TRUST YOU. IF YOU PUSH YOURSELF AND 01:00:37.353 --> 01:00:41.614 YOU PUSH YOUR GIFT. I MADE THAT MISTAKE EARLY ON IN MY LIFE. I 01:00:41.614 --> 01:00:44.523 WAS TRYING TO PUSH MY GIFT A LITTLE TOO MUCH. AND I'M TELLING 01:00:44.523 --> 01:00:48.753 YOU, IT NEVER GOES RIGHT. YOU'RE BETTER OFF TO LET GOD PROMOTE 01:00:48.753 --> 01:00:52.623 YOU. AND SO WHEN YOU DO HEAR SPECIFIC THINGS, PEOPLE DON'T 01:00:52.623 --> 01:00:55.876 JUST THINK YOU'RE BEING A SQUIRREL. THEY'LL TRUST YOU. ALL 01:00:55.876 --> 01:00:58.934 RIGHT, HOW MANY ARE YOU GETTING THAT? NOW LOOK HERE. ALRIGHT, SO 01:00:58.934 --> 01:01:01.244 IT DIDN'T WORK. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF LIFE. I RETURNED TO MEET 01:01:01.244 --> 01:01:03.764 ELISHA AND HE TOLD HIM, "THE CHILD IS STILL DEAD." LET'S KEEP 01:01:03.764 --> 01:01:08.293 READING. "WHEN ELISHA ARRIVED, THE CHILD WAS INDEED DEAD, LYING 01:01:08.293 --> 01:01:13.483 THERE ON THE PROPHET'S BED. HE WENT IN ALONE, AND HE SHUT THE 01:01:13.483 --> 01:01:16.994 DOOR BEHIND HIM AND PRAYED TO THE LORD." STOP RIGHT THERE. 01:01:16.994 --> 01:01:21.494 ALRIGHT. NOW, MOST PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR FROM GOD. MOST PEOPLE 01:01:21.494 --> 01:01:24.463 WANT TO COME UP HIGHER. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THEY'LL NEVER SHUT 01:01:24.463 --> 01:01:31.543 THE DOOR BEHIND THEM. THEY KEEP A DOOR OPEN TO WORLDLINESS, 01:01:31.543 --> 01:01:40.483 COMPROMISE, FLESH, SIN, THEIR FRIENDS, THEIR CHEEKY, YOU KNOW, 01:01:40.483 --> 01:01:46.244 CLUB. AND THEY DON'T CLOSE THE DOOR. IT'S LIKE THEY KEEP THIS 01:01:46.244 --> 01:01:50.114 CONNECTION. YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO LOT'S WIFE. 01:01:50.114 --> 01:01:52.753 OBVIOUSLY, THERE WAS SOMETHING IN HER THAT SHE JUST HAD TO LOOK 01:01:52.753 --> 01:01:55.213 OVER HER SHOULDER TO MAKE SURE. WELL, IT COST HER HER LIFE. 01:01:55.213 --> 01:01:59.414 BECAUSE THERE WAS SOMETHING IN HER. YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE THAT IF 01:01:59.414 --> 01:02:01.873 YOU WANT TO GO HIGHER AND YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE GOD 01:02:01.873 --> 01:02:05.054 SUPERNATURALLY USE YOU, THAT YOU DON'T LEAVE OPEN DOORS TO WHERE 01:02:05.054 --> 01:02:09.458 THE ENEMY CAN COME IN. DON'T LEAVE OPEN DOORS. BECAUSE WHAT 01:02:09.458 --> 01:02:12.134 IT WILL DO IS IT WILL KEEP YOU FROM REALLY TAPPING INTO A 01:02:12.134 --> 01:02:17.684 HIGHER PLACE WITH GOD. SHUT THE DOOR AND PRAYED TO THE LORD. NOW 01:02:17.684 --> 01:02:20.443 WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. THIS IS A PRINCIPLE I WANT TO TEACH YOU. 01:02:20.443 --> 01:02:26.804 THEN HE LAID DOWN ON THE CHILD'S BODY. OK, NOW, SO IMAGINE ELIJAH 01:02:26.804 --> 01:02:32.324 LAYING DOWN ON TOP OF THIS LITTLE BOY'S BODY. I HAD THAT 01:02:32.324 --> 01:02:35.324 HAPPEN TO ME BY A GUY THAT'S IN HEAVEN NOW. HIS NAME WAS PROPHET 01:02:35.324 --> 01:02:38.954 ED DUFRESNE. HE WAS A VERY POWERFUL PROPHET. AND HE WOULD 01:02:38.954 --> 01:02:41.563 PULL ME OUT OF AUDIENCES HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ME IN. HE WOULD 01:02:41.563 --> 01:02:45.643 THROW ME UP AGAINST WALLS AND COMMAND THE POWER OF GOD TO COME 01:02:45.643 --> 01:02:48.344 ON ME, THE ANOINTING. BUT I REMEMBER ONE SERVICE, HE PICKED 01:02:48.344 --> 01:02:51.764 ME UP AND THREW ME ACROSS THE ROOM. AND THEN I WAS LAID ON THE 01:02:51.764 --> 01:02:54.673 GROUND AND HE LAID ON THE SIDE AND PUT HIS CHEST FROM THE SIDE 01:02:54.673 --> 01:02:58.153 RIGHT HERE AND BREATHED AND GROANED IN THE SPIRIT FOR A 01:02:58.153 --> 01:03:01.994 LONG, LONG TIME. I HAVE NO CLUE TO THIS DAY WHAT WAS IMPORTANT 01:03:01.994 --> 01:03:04.934 IN MY LIFE, BUT I JUST KNOW WHEN I GOT OFF THE GROUND I FELT 01:03:04.934 --> 01:03:09.284 DIFFERENT. BUT HERE'S WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE CHILD'S BODY, 01:03:09.284 --> 01:03:12.463 OKAY, WAS UNDERNEATH ELIJAH. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WAS? THAT WAS 01:03:12.463 --> 01:03:18.463 HEART TO HEART. THAT WAS WHAT THE MOST IMPORTANT WAY IF YOU 01:03:18.463 --> 01:03:25.304 WANT GOD TO SPEAK TO YOU, IT'S ALWAYS HEART TO HEART FIRST. THE 01:03:25.304 --> 01:03:27.853 FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO IS LAY DOWN ON THE CHILD'S BODY. 01:03:27.853 --> 01:03:32.083 THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO IS LAY YOUR LIFE DOWN. BECAUSE 01:03:32.083 --> 01:03:35.324 YOU'VE SHUT THE DOOR, YOU'RE PRAYING TO GOD, YOU'RE LAYING 01:03:35.324 --> 01:03:38.503 DOWN BEFORE THE LORD, AND YOU ARE TRYING TO HAVE HEART TO 01:03:38.503 --> 01:03:41.983 HEART. I GO AFTER THE HEART OF GOD. I DON'T SEEK FOR PROPHETIC 01:03:41.983 --> 01:03:46.184 WORDS, I SEEK HIS HEART. NOW I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO SEEK 01:03:46.184 --> 01:03:49.844 HIS HEART. BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT. NOW, THE NEXT THING 01:03:49.844 --> 01:03:55.003 IS, HE PLACED HIS MOUTH ON THE CHILD'S MOUTH. SO NOW, OK, ONCE 01:03:55.003 --> 01:03:57.793 YOU GET GOD'S HEART, GET READY, BECAUSE THE NEXT THING, GOD'S 01:03:57.793 --> 01:04:01.273 GOING TO START SPEAKING TO YOU. RIGHT, WHEN YOU COME UP HIGHER, 01:04:01.273 --> 01:04:04.483 REVELATION 4:1, THEN I'LL SHOW YOU THINGS WHICH MUST COME 01:04:04.483 --> 01:04:08.023 HEREAFTER. AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU ANOTHER PRINCIPLE WITH JOHN. 01:04:08.023 --> 01:04:11.474 THEN HE PUT HIS EYES UPON HIS EYES. OK, THAT'S PROPHETIC 01:04:11.474 --> 01:04:14.173 SIGHT. GOD'S GOING TO SHOW YOU THINGS. YOU'RE GOING TO GET 01:04:14.173 --> 01:04:16.536 VISIONS AND DREAMS. BUT THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO IS 01:04:16.536 --> 01:04:20.293 YOU NEED TO PLACE YOURSELF BEFORE THE LORD HEART TO HEART. 01:04:20.293 --> 01:04:23.713 THAT'S WHAT THAT REPRESENTS. BODY TO BODY, HEART TO HEART. 01:04:23.713 --> 01:04:26.414 THEN GOD'S GOING TO START SPEAKING TO YOU. YOU'RE GOING TO 01:04:26.414 --> 01:04:29.443 START SEEING THINGS. YOU'RE GOING TO GET VISIONS AND DREAMS. 01:04:29.443 --> 01:04:32.293 AND THEN HIS HANDS WERE ON THE CHILD'S HANDS. NOW YOU'RE GOING 01:04:32.293 --> 01:04:36.974 TO BE ABLE TO SERVE EFFECTIVELY, PURELY IN YOUR GIFT. THAT'S WHY 01:04:36.974 --> 01:04:40.664 IT SAYS IN THE BOOK OF ACTS, I BELIEVE IT'S ACTS 20 OR 21, 01:04:40.664 --> 01:04:44.324 WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT THAT PHILIP HAD FOUR VIRGIN DAUGHTERS THAT 01:04:44.324 --> 01:04:48.884 PROPHESIED. WHY WOULD IT MIX VIRGINITY WITH THEIR PROPHETIC 01:04:48.884 --> 01:04:52.994 GIFT? BECAUSE THAT IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL THAT YOU CAN 01:04:52.994 --> 01:04:56.054 FUNCTION IN, IS WHEN YOU ARE PURE IN THE HEART, YOU'LL SEE 01:04:56.054 --> 01:04:59.083 GOD. WHEN YOU'RE PURE IN THE HEART, YOU'LL SPEAK FOR GOD. 01:04:59.083 --> 01:05:02.503 WHEN YOU'RE PURE IN THE HEART, YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAP 01:05:02.503 --> 01:05:05.414 INTO A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL OF HEAVENLY INFORMATION AND 01:05:05.414 --> 01:05:10.123 REVELATION THAT'S ENTRUSTED TO YOU BY GOD. AMEN? AND AS A 01:05:10.123 --> 01:05:14.773 RESULT, THE CHILD CAME TO LIFE. BUT I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS. NOW 01:05:14.773 --> 01:05:20.264 LET'S LOOK HERE. SO THE FIRST THING YOU SEE IS HEART TO HEART, 01:05:20.264 --> 01:05:25.063 FACE TO FACE. THIS IS THE DESIRE OR WHAT I CALL THE PURSUIT OF 01:05:25.063 --> 01:05:27.373 INTIMACY. SO THE FIRST THING ELIJAH DOES WHEN HE COMES IN THE 01:05:27.373 --> 01:05:29.623 ROOM, I JUST SHOWED YOU, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, 01:05:29.623 --> 01:05:35.083 BODY TO BODY, HEART TO HEART, FACE TO FACE, OKAY? THIS IS THE 01:05:35.083 --> 01:05:43.753 MOST IMPORTANT THING. IT HAS TO BE YOUR DRIVE. GOD, I WANT YOUR 01:05:43.753 --> 01:05:52.184 FACE. NOW, WHEN YOU GET GOD'S FACE, HE REVEALS HIS HEART. COME 01:05:52.184 --> 01:05:54.614 ON, HOW MANY OF YOU EVER BEEN ON A DATE? HOW MANY OF YOU EVER 01:05:54.614 --> 01:05:59.114 BEEN MARRIED? RIGHT? FIRST THING YOU DO IS YOU SEE THE FACE OF 01:05:59.114 --> 01:06:02.983 THE PERSON THAT YOU'RE GOING OUT WITH. AND THEN AS YOU CONTINUE 01:06:02.983 --> 01:06:08.264 TO PURSUE THEM, AS THEY CONTINUE TO WATCH YOU, LISTEN TO YOU, 01:06:08.264 --> 01:06:12.313 THEY OPEN THEIR HEART. SAME WAY WITH GOD. YOU SEE HIS FACE. WHEN 01:06:12.313 --> 01:06:15.284 IT COMES TO SEEKING HIS FACE, ONE THING I ALWAYS SAY TO GOD 01:06:15.284 --> 01:06:17.744 IS, "OKAY," AND I ALWAYS SAY, "GOD, I'M HERE TO SEEK YOUR 01:06:17.744 --> 01:06:23.108 FACE." ALRIGHT? AND I LOOK AND I THINK, "OKAY, MAN, HIS HAIR IS 01:06:23.108 --> 01:06:27.733 SO BEAUTIFUL." WELL, GOD, YOUR HAIR IS SO FULL OF GLORY AND 01:06:27.733 --> 01:06:30.914 WISDOM, AND GOD, I WANT THAT GLORY AND I WANT THAT WISDOM 01:06:30.914 --> 01:06:34.094 THAT IS REFLECTED UPON YOUR HEAD. AND THEN I LOOK IN HIS 01:06:34.094 --> 01:06:37.094 EYES AND I'M LIKE, "GOD, I WANT, I WANT TO SEE THINGS THE WAY 01:06:37.094 --> 01:06:40.693 THAT YOU SEE THINGS. THAT MEANS I'M GONNA HATE WHAT HATE AND I'M 01:06:40.693 --> 01:06:44.083 GONNA LOVE WHAT YOU LOVE. BECAUSE I'M AFTER YOUR EYES. I'M 01:06:44.083 --> 01:06:46.753 NOT LOOKING AT IT FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, BUT GOD I'M LOOKING 01:06:46.753 --> 01:06:48.884 AT IT FROM YOURS. AND I ALREADY TOLD YOU THIS ON ONE OF THE 01:06:48.884 --> 01:06:51.914 PROPHETIC SCHOOLS. ONE OF THE CRAZIEST THINGS I HAD HAPPEN TO 01:06:51.914 --> 01:06:54.614 ME ONE TIME AS I WAS PRAYING AND THESE EYES APPEARED BEFORE ME. 01:06:54.614 --> 01:06:58.304 IT WAS SO INTENSE AND I KNEW THEY WERE THE EYES OF THE LORD. 01:06:58.304 --> 01:07:01.994 AND HE SPOKE AND HE SAID, "THERE ARE SOME WHO CALL THEMSELVES 01:07:01.994 --> 01:07:04.423 THAT ARE PROPHETS AND THEY ARE NOT." AND HE SAID, "THERE ARE 01:07:04.423 --> 01:07:07.873 SOME THAT ARE SAYING THEY'RE OPERATING IN WORD OF KNOWLEDGE, 01:07:07.873 --> 01:07:11.204 BUT IT IS PRIOR KNOWLEDGE. I WILL EXPOSE THEM." AND THEN HE 01:07:11.204 --> 01:07:15.403 SAID THIS, HE SAID, "NOW COME, I WANT TO SHOW YOU." AND ALL OF A 01:07:15.403 --> 01:07:19.813 SUDDEN I WAS PULLED INSIDE OF WHATEVER THIS HAPPENED TO ME. 01:07:19.813 --> 01:07:23.418 AND I WAS NO LONGER LOOKING AT THE EYES LIKE, YOU KNOW, IN 01:07:23.418 --> 01:07:25.746 FRONT OF ME, BUT I WAS NOW INSIDE. YOU KNOW, HOW MANY OF 01:07:25.746 --> 01:07:28.784 YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS WE ARE IN CHRIST? I DON'T KNOW, BUT I 01:07:28.784 --> 01:07:32.474 WAS SOMEWHERE WHERE I WAS NOW LOOKING THROUGH HIS EYES AND HE 01:07:32.474 --> 01:07:35.474 BEGAN TO SHOW ME THE EARTH AND HE BEGAN TO SHOW ME THINGS IN 01:07:35.474 --> 01:07:39.224 THE EARTH. THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY I'M NOT MOVED BY THE FUTURE. 01:07:39.224 --> 01:07:43.543 I SAW IT. I SAW IT. ARE YOU SAYING JESUS ISN'T COMING? I 01:07:43.543 --> 01:07:46.844 DIDN'T SAY THAT. I'M TELLING YOU, I SAW THE FUTURE. AND IT'S 01:07:46.844 --> 01:07:50.081 UP TO HIM WHEN HE DECIDES THE KING TO COME. BUT I'M TELLING 01:07:50.081 --> 01:07:54.733 YOU, I SAW THE DARKNESS, I PROPHESIED ABOUT THE PLAGUE, BUT 01:07:54.733 --> 01:07:59.443 I ALSO SAW REST. I SAW LIGHT, I SAW A RESET, I SAW REVERSALS, I 01:07:59.443 --> 01:08:02.384 SAW CRAZY THINGS. IT'S LIKE YOU DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE THE EARTH. 01:08:02.384 --> 01:08:05.954 IT WAS SO DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF GOD INVADING IT. BUT I WAS 01:08:05.954 --> 01:08:09.974 LITERALLY CAUGHT UP AND I WAS ABLE TO SEE THROUGH HIS EYES. 01:08:09.974 --> 01:08:12.554 AND IT CHANGED MY WHOLE PERSPECTIVE. IT CHANGED MY WHOLE 01:08:12.554 --> 01:08:15.344 LIFE. THE OTHER THING IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FACE OF GOD, YOU 01:08:15.344 --> 01:08:23.354 SEE HIS NOSE. I WANT TO KNOW THE SWEET AROMA. I WANT TO HAVE A 01:08:23.354 --> 01:08:27.194 LIFE THAT IS A SWEET AROMA. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SMELL WHEN 01:08:27.194 --> 01:08:30.944 SOMETHING IS OFF AND EVIL. BUT I ALSO, GOD, WANT TO CELEBRATE 01:08:30.944 --> 01:08:35.444 RIGHTEOUSNESS. BECAUSE WHEN THE EARTH WAS CLEAN IN GENESIS 8, 01:08:35.444 --> 01:08:40.003 THE BIBLE SAYS GOD SMELLED IT. RIGHT? IF YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM 01:08:40.003 --> 01:08:42.524 GOD, WHAT'S THE FRAGRANCE YOU'RE GIVING OFF? YOU KNOW, THEN OF 01:08:42.524 --> 01:08:45.493 COURSE, YOU KNOW, I LOOK FOR THE LORD'S MOUTH. I WANT HIS MOUTH. 01:08:45.493 --> 01:08:49.304 I WANT HIS LIPS. I WANT HIS BREATH. YOU KNOW, I WANT HIS 01:08:49.304 --> 01:08:55.484 TOUCH. AND SO WHEN YOU WANT THE WORDS OF GOD, HIS MOUTH, IF YOU 01:08:55.484 --> 01:08:59.984 WILL MAKE IT ABOUT HIS FACE AND HIS HEART, JUST LIKE WITH 01:08:59.984 --> 01:09:06.224 ELISHA, HE PUT HIS HEART FACE TO FACE, BOOM, THE NEXT THING, IT 01:09:06.224 --> 01:09:10.782 WAS THE EYES, IT WAS THE HANDS, COME ON, AND YOU CAN UNDERSTAND 01:09:10.782 --> 01:09:14.533 THAT, AND IT WAS THE MOUTH, AND YOU CAN SEE HOW IT PROGRESSES. 01:09:14.533 --> 01:09:16.993 ALRIGHT, I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE 01:09:16.993 --> 01:09:20.144 PRINCIPLE. ARE YOU READY? SO YOU GOT TO HAVE HEART TO HEART. THIS 01:09:20.144 --> 01:09:24.703 IS THE KEY. GO AFTER GOD'S FACE. WRITE THAT DOWN. GO AFTER HIS 01:09:24.703 --> 01:09:28.844 FACE. GOD, I WANT YOUR FACE AND HE'LL GIVE YOU HIS HEART. WELL, 01:09:28.844 --> 01:09:34.363 WHAT'S HIS HEART? HIS MIND, HIS WILL, OKAY, HIS INTENTIONS, 01:09:34.363 --> 01:09:38.743 OKAY, HIS DELIGHTS, HIS SECRETS. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I PUT AN 01:09:38.743 --> 01:09:41.984 EQUAL SIGN IN MY NOTES. YOU KNOW WHAT I PUT? IT EQUALS PROPHETIC 01:09:41.984 --> 01:09:48.253 WORDS, PROPHETIC REVELATION. WHENEVER I MAKE MY TIME, YOU 01:09:48.253 --> 01:09:50.113 KNOW, LIKE NEW YEAR'S EVE SERVICE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT 01:09:50.113 --> 01:09:54.253 OF PRESSURE. WHAT'S GOD GOING TO SAY? YOU KNOW WHAT? IF THIS 2024 01:09:54.253 --> 01:09:59.234 GOD DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING THROUGH THIS VESSEL, I'M GOOD. BUT I 01:09:59.234 --> 01:10:01.814 FEEL IT BECAUSE I FEEL THE RESPONSIBILITY, BUT WHAT AM I 01:10:01.814 --> 01:10:05.594 DOING BEFORE I EVER GET OUT HERE? I'M SAYING GOD, I WOULD 01:10:05.594 --> 01:10:10.753 LOVE FOR YOU TO SPEAK TO THE PEOPLE, BUT I LONG FOR HIM. I 01:10:12.253 --> 01:10:15.613 WORSHIP HIM. I TELL HIM HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM AND HOW MUCH I WANT 01:10:15.613 --> 01:10:19.514 HIM TO SPEAK TO THE PEOPLE AND HOW MUCH WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT 01:10:19.514 --> 01:10:22.783 THE FUTURE LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT DOES HE HAVE PLANNED. AND IF YOU 01:10:22.783 --> 01:10:25.225 MAKE IT ABOUT HIS FACE, HE WILL GIVE YOU HIS 01:10:25.225 --> 01:10:26.804 HEART. AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, BOOM, 01:10:26.804 --> 01:10:29.953 MOUTH TO MOUTH. GOD STARTS PUTTING WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH. THE 01:10:29.953 --> 01:10:33.314 PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DO IS THEY GO AFTER THE MOUTH, THEY 01:10:33.314 --> 01:10:35.713 GO AFTER THE WORDS. COME ON, IT'S LIKE TRYING TO KISS THE 01:10:35.713 --> 01:10:39.686 GIRL ON THE FIRST DATE. WAIT A MINUTE. DON'T TOUCH THOSE LIPS. 01:10:40.873 --> 01:10:45.913 RIGHT? WE DO THE SAME THING WITH GOD. WE WANT ALL THESE WORDS AND 01:10:45.913 --> 01:10:51.104 YET, WHAT ABOUT HIS EYES? WHAT ABOUT HIS PRECIOUS HEART? AND 01:10:51.104 --> 01:10:54.373 WHEN YOU MAKE IT ABOUT HIS FACE AND HIS HEART, HE WILL FILL YOUR 01:10:54.373 --> 01:10:58.873 MOUTH WITH HIS WORDS. DON'T MAKE IT ABOUT PROPHECIES, PROPHETIC 01:10:58.873 --> 01:11:02.765 WORDS, FILLING A PODCAST, TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, COME UP WITH, YOU 01:11:02.765 --> 01:11:06.604 KNOW, THE LIST OF ALL THE, YOU KNOW, 10 THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN 01:11:06.604 --> 01:11:10.926 IN 2024. I QUIT DOING THAT. I SAID, I AM NOT INTO PREDICTION. 01:11:10.926 --> 01:11:17.104 EVEN THOUGH PROPHETS HAVE A PREDICTIVE... PREDICTIVE, HOW 01:11:17.104 --> 01:11:20.734 WOULD I SAY IT? THERE'S PREDICTION IN THE FORTH TELLING 01:11:20.734 --> 01:11:24.155 OF THE WAY THE GIFT MANIFESTS. BUT YOU DON'T SEEK FOR 01:11:24.155 --> 01:11:27.994 PREDICTIONS. NO, I SEEK HIS FACE. AND IF HE REVEALS 01:11:27.994 --> 01:11:33.305 SOMETHING TO ME, I'LL SHARE IT. OTHERWISE, ZIP THE LIP AND GO 01:11:33.305 --> 01:11:37.835 AFTER THE HEART. ALRIGHT? NOW, LOOK AT NUMBERS 12. THIS IS 01:11:37.835 --> 01:11:40.475 VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. AND I'M GOING TO READ THIS OUT OF THE 01:11:40.475 --> 01:11:42.664 NEW LIVING TRANSLATION. I WANT TO TEACH YOU SOME PRINCIPLES OUT 01:11:42.664 --> 01:11:44.975 OF THIS. I GOT TO GO KIND OF QUICK HERE. "WHILE THEY WERE AT 01:11:44.975 --> 01:11:48.395 HAZEROTH, MIRIAM AND AARON CRITICIZED MOSES BECAUSE HE 01:11:48.395 --> 01:11:52.324 MARRIED A CUSHITE WOMAN." SO NOTICE THEY WERE CRITICIZING. 01:11:52.324 --> 01:11:56.645 AND THEY SAID, "HAS THE LORD SPOKEN ONLY THROUGH MOSES? THIS 01:11:56.645 --> 01:12:01.744 IS A DANGEROUS THING. HASN'T HE ALSO SPOKEN THROUGH US TOO, OR 01:12:01.744 --> 01:12:05.524 DOESN'T HE SPEAK TO US? NEVER COMPARE YOURSELF WITH ANOTHER 01:12:05.524 --> 01:12:09.604 PROPHETIC VESSEL OR ANOTHER GIFT. IF YOU DO, IT WILL RUIN 01:12:09.604 --> 01:12:14.405 YOU. THAT'S WHY I BRING GREAT PROPHETIC VOICES IN. AND I'M NOT 01:12:14.405 --> 01:12:18.215 IN COMPETITION WITH THEM. OKAY, THEY HAVE DIFFERENT 01:12:18.215 --> 01:12:21.454 ADMINISTRATIONS, THEY HAVE DIFFERENT GIFTINGS. AND A LOT OF 01:12:21.454 --> 01:12:24.574 THEM ARE GREATER THAN WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO THIS VESSEL. I 01:12:24.574 --> 01:12:26.614 DON'T CARE, I'M NOT IN COMPETITION. I'M NOT THE ONLY 01:12:26.614 --> 01:12:30.875 ONE THAT GOD SPEAKS THROUGH. BUT IF YOU ALWAYS COMPARE YOURSELF, 01:12:30.875 --> 01:12:33.215 YOU'RE GOING TO GET INTO VERSE 1. YOU'RE GOING TO GET INTO 01:12:33.215 --> 01:12:36.725 CRITICISM. AND LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE DANGER OF CRITICISM. 01:12:36.725 --> 01:12:40.414 IF YOU CRITICIZE EVERYTHING, OKAY, A PROPHETIC WORD COMES OUT 01:12:40.414 --> 01:12:42.845 AND YOU DON'T LIKE IT, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, YOU DON'T AGREE 01:12:42.845 --> 01:12:46.204 WITH IT, IT'S AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE CRITICIZE A PROPHETIC 01:12:46.204 --> 01:12:51.319 WORD BEFORE IT EVER, EVER MANIFESTS. WHEN I WAS 01:12:51.319 --> 01:12:53.975 PROPHESYING ABOUT NETANYAHU WOULD RETURN TO POWER, THEY 01:12:53.975 --> 01:12:57.305 STARTED CRITICIZING. I'M LIKE, "MAN, IT HASN'T EVEN MANIFEST 01:12:57.305 --> 01:12:59.945 YET AND YOU ARE ACTING LIKE YOU ARE THE JUDGE OF THE EARTH. YOU 01:12:59.945 --> 01:13:03.454 ARE ACTING LIKE YOU ARE GOD AND YOU ARE THE ONE THAT IS 01:13:03.454 --> 01:13:06.060 DETERMINING WHETHER HE'S GOING TO COME BACK OR NOT." AND THEY 01:13:06.060 --> 01:13:08.614 GET INTO CRITICISM. AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET INTO 01:13:08.614 --> 01:13:14.765 CRITICISM AND COMPARING, YOU WILL GET OFF IN YOUR GIFT. AND 01:13:14.765 --> 01:13:18.905 YOU WILL BEGIN TO BE CRITICAL. AND YOUR PROPHECIES WILL BECOME 01:13:18.905 --> 01:13:23.704 CRITICAL. YOU WILL HAVE A JUDGMENTAL SOUND IN THE WAY YOU 01:13:23.704 --> 01:13:27.515 PROPHESY AND WHAT YOU PROPHESY. MAN, I'VE HAD SOME PEOPLE THAT I 01:13:27.515 --> 01:13:30.484 HEAR THEM PROPHESY, I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT? YOUR WORDS ARE 01:13:30.484 --> 01:13:34.145 RIGHT, BUT THE SPIRIT BEHIND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS OFF 01:13:34.145 --> 01:13:37.564 BECAUSE YOU ARE CRITICAL. AND YOU'VE GOTTEN OVER IN A 01:13:37.564 --> 01:13:42.454 RELIGIOUS SPIRIT THAT NOBODY CAN DO ANYTHING GOOD. SO EVERYBODY'S 01:13:42.454 --> 01:13:45.545 GOING TO GO TO HELL AND GOD'S JUDGMENTS ARE HERE AND THEY 01:13:45.545 --> 01:13:50.195 NEVER CAN SEE ANYTHING GOOD. SO BE CAREFUL OF CRITICIZING. NOW 01:13:50.195 --> 01:13:53.494 WATCH THIS. GOD SAYS SOMETHING THAT IS SO AMAZING. LOOK AT 01:13:53.494 --> 01:13:58.324 VERSE 3 NOW, WATCH THIS. AND THEY, NOW MOSES WAS VERY HUMBLE, 01:13:58.324 --> 01:14:01.564 MORE THAN ANY OTHER PERSON ON EARTH. WHY DID GOD PUT THAT IN 01:14:01.564 --> 01:14:06.935 THERE? BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN WE ARE CRITICAL, WE ARE IN PRIDE. I 01:14:06.935 --> 01:14:11.345 WATCH PEOPLE GO AFTER TRUE PROPHETS OF GOD AND CRITICIZE 01:14:11.345 --> 01:14:16.744 THEM RECENTLY OVER THE LAST YEAR. AND IT WAS JUST UGLY WHAT 01:14:16.744 --> 01:14:20.314 IT DID TO THE BODY OF CHRIST. BUT YET MOSES, AND YET I'M 01:14:20.314 --> 01:14:23.045 THINKING THE VESSELS THAT THEY ATTACKED, I'M LIKE, "THESE 01:14:23.045 --> 01:14:27.155 PEOPLE ARE MEEK, THEY'RE HUMBLE, THEY'RE NOT OUT TO DECEIVE AND 01:14:27.155 --> 01:14:31.085 TO BE FALSE AND BLAH, BLAH, BLAH." BUT THERE WAS A CERTAIN 01:14:31.085 --> 01:14:35.345 ELEMENT AND A PRIDE THAT CAME WITH THE CRITICISM. NOTICE GOD 01:14:35.345 --> 01:14:39.095 CALLED OUT HUMILITY. I HAVE A FRIEND OF MINE, CLINT, HE'S LIKE 01:14:39.095 --> 01:14:42.568 PROBABLY 85 YEARS OLD AND I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR 25 YEARS AND THE 01:14:42.568 --> 01:14:46.685 THING HE WOULD SAY TO ME EVERY SINGLE TIME I'D GET WITH HIM, 01:14:46.685 --> 01:14:51.274 "BE HUMBLE. STAY HUMBLE. HUMILITY, THERE IS POWER IN 01:14:51.274 --> 01:14:53.885 HUMILITY." NOW, HAVE YOU EVER PRAYED ABOUT SOMETHING AND YOU 01:14:53.885 --> 01:14:56.914 WONDER WHY? I WAS REBUKING THE DEVIL ONE DAY AND HE WASN'T 01:14:56.914 --> 01:15:00.130 BUKING. AND I WENT TO GOD AND I SAID, "THE DEVIL'S NOT BUKING. 01:15:02.045 --> 01:15:04.505 I'M REBUKING HIM BUT HE'S NOT BUKING." AND GOD SAID, "HANK, I 01:15:04.505 --> 01:15:08.435 GIVE GRACE TO THE HUMBLE BUT I RESIST THE PROUD." HE SAID, 01:15:08.435 --> 01:15:14.585 "IT'S NOT EVEN THE DEVIL. IT'S ME RESISTING YOU. YOU ARE IN 01:15:14.585 --> 01:15:19.385 PRIDE. HUMBLE YOURSELF." NOW, PRIDE ALSO GIVES ACCESS TO THE 01:15:19.385 --> 01:15:23.854 DEVIL. SO STAY OUT OF PRIDE. DON'T THINK THAT YOU HAVE THE 01:15:23.854 --> 01:15:26.555 GREATEST GIFT. DON'T THINK THAT YOU'RE THE CHURCH PROPHET. 01:15:26.555 --> 01:15:29.795 YOU'RE THE PARKING LOT PROPHET. YOU'RE THE DREAMER IN THE CHURCH 01:15:29.795 --> 01:15:34.414 AND YOU GOT TO SUBMIT ALL YOUR DREAMS TO EVERYBODY. RIGHT? YOU 01:15:34.414 --> 01:15:39.953 KNOW EVERYTHING. LISTEN, IF PEOPLE PROPHESY TO ME, I ALWAYS 01:15:39.953 --> 01:15:44.345 SAY, "WHAT CHURCH YOU BELONG TO? WHO YOU CONNECTED TO?" JESUS 01:15:44.345 --> 01:15:51.274 SAID, "YOU KNOW PROPHETS BY THEIR WHAT? FRUIT." SO, YOU LOOK 01:15:51.274 --> 01:15:55.324 AT A FRUIT AND YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE ROOT. WHAT ARE YOU ROOTED 01:15:55.324 --> 01:15:58.655 INTO? RIGHT? ARE YOU A SQUIRREL? WHO DO YOU LISTEN TO ON THE 01:15:58.655 --> 01:16:02.045 INTERNET? SOMETIMES PEOPLE TELL ME WHO THEY FOLLOW. I'M LIKE, 01:16:02.045 --> 01:16:07.655 "HELL NO, DON'T YOU DARE SHARE A WORD WITH ME." AND I'M NOT 01:16:07.655 --> 01:16:10.744 CUSSING, I'M JUST SAYING I DON'T WANT IT COMING FROM THE 01:16:10.744 --> 01:16:19.176 UNDERGROUND. LOOK AT VERSE 4. ARE YOU BORED TONIGHT? OH, OKAY. 01:16:19.176 --> 01:16:23.015 SO IMMEDIATELY THE LORD CALLED TO MOSES AND AARON AND MIRIAM 01:16:23.015 --> 01:16:25.835 AND SAID, "SO NOW YOU GOT THREE. GO OUT TO THE TABERNACLE, ALL 01:16:25.835 --> 01:16:27.835 THREE OF YOU. SO THE THREE WENT TO THE TABERNACLE." KEEP 01:16:27.835 --> 01:16:29.922 READING. WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. "THEN THE 01:16:29.922 --> 01:16:32.134 LORD DESCENDED IN THE PILLAR OF CLOUD, 01:16:32.134 --> 01:16:34.926 AND HE STOOD AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE TABERNACLE. AND 01:16:34.926 --> 01:16:37.354 HE SAID, 'AARON AND MIRIAM.' AND HE CALLED THEM, AND THEY STEPPED 01:16:37.354 --> 01:16:41.135 FORWARD." NOW WATCH WHAT GOD SAYS. "AND THE LORD SAID, 'NOW 01:16:41.135 --> 01:16:44.314 LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY. IF YOU WERE PROPHETS, IF THERE WERE 01:16:44.314 --> 01:16:49.085 PROPHETS AMONG YOU, I, THE LORD, WOULD REVEAL MYSELF IN VISIONS, 01:16:49.085 --> 01:16:51.845 AND I WOULD SPEAK TO THEM IN DREAMS.'" WHOA, WAIT, WAIT, 01:16:51.845 --> 01:16:55.655 STOP. "IF THERE WERE PROPHETS AMONG THEM," LOOK AT EXODUS 7:1, 01:16:57.125 --> 01:17:01.445 "AARON AND MIRIAM," WHAT DOES IT SAY? "THE LORD SAID TO MOSES, 01:17:01.445 --> 01:17:05.345 'PAY ATTENTION. I WILL MAKE YOU SEEM LIKE GOD THE PHARAOH, AND 01:17:05.345 --> 01:17:09.125 YOUR BROTHER AARON WILL BE A PROPHET.'" SO HE WAS A PROPHET, 01:17:09.125 --> 01:17:12.905 BUT NOTICE GOD DIDN'T EVEN RESPECT HIS OFFICE. WHEN YOU GET 01:17:12.905 --> 01:17:17.555 INTO CRITICISM, GOD WILL LOOK AT YOUR MINISTRY, AND HE MAY NOT 01:17:17.555 --> 01:17:24.095 BLESS IT. HE MAY NOT ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR GIFTING. HE WILL REMOVE HIS 01:17:24.095 --> 01:17:27.784 HAND OF BLESSING. BE CAREFUL, DON'T GET INTO CRITICISM ON 01:17:27.784 --> 01:17:32.255 SOCIAL MEDIA OR IN THE CHURCH. BE CAREFUL. HERE HE WAS A 01:17:32.255 --> 01:17:36.755 PROPHET, POSITIONED BY GOD. AND GOD SAID, "IF THERE BE A 01:17:36.755 --> 01:17:39.335 PROPHET." IN OTHER WORDS, I'M NOT EVEN RESPECTING YOUR OFFICE. 01:17:39.335 --> 01:17:43.145 I'M NOT EVEN ABSOLUTELY ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROPHETIC 01:17:43.145 --> 01:17:45.905 OFFICE I GAVE. BECAUSE YOU GOT OVER INTO PRIDE AND YOU GOT OVER 01:17:45.905 --> 01:17:49.685 INTO CRITICISM AND YOU THINK YOU'RE SOMETHING. BE CAREFUL. 01:17:49.685 --> 01:17:52.265 THAT'S WHY IF YOU CAN EVER RECEIVE CORRECTION FROM THE 01:17:52.265 --> 01:17:54.935 PASTOR OR LEADERSHIP OVER PROPHETIC WORDS, YOU ARE IN A 01:17:54.935 --> 01:18:01.085 DANGEROUS PLACE. ALRIGHT. AND MIRIAM, EXODUS, I THINK IT'S 01:18:01.085 --> 01:18:07.234 EXODUS 15:20. IS THAT THE ONE? LOOK AT EXODUS 15:20. OH, SHE 01:18:07.234 --> 01:18:11.135 WAS A PROPHETESS. SO WHY WOULD GOD SAY THAT? BECAUSE THEY GOT 01:18:11.135 --> 01:18:13.414 OVER INTO THE WRONG SPIRIT. AND IF YOU GET OVER INTO THE WRONG 01:18:13.414 --> 01:18:15.845 SPIRIT, YOU'LL PROPHESY OUT OF THE WRONG SPIRIT. AND GOD SAID, 01:18:15.845 --> 01:18:18.064 "I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO SPEAK THROUGH YOU. I'M NOT EVEN GOING 01:18:18.064 --> 01:18:22.805 TO SPEAK TO YOU." BUT NOW GO BACK TO WHAT GOD THEN SAID ABOUT 01:18:22.805 --> 01:18:28.895 WHAT SEPARATED MOSES FROM THEM. HUMILITY. SO IT'S CHARACTER OVER 01:18:28.895 --> 01:18:33.965 GIFTING. TOO MANY PEOPLE MAKE IT ABOUT GIFTING. I GOT THIS GREAT 01:18:33.965 --> 01:18:37.564 GIFT. SO AND SO HAS THIS GREAT GIFT. YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I 01:18:37.564 --> 01:18:40.505 WILL NEVER... I HAVE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME SAY... AND LISTEN, 01:18:40.505 --> 01:18:45.426 BEING... BRENDA, YOU'RE WATCHING. LISTEN, I'VE BEEN 01:18:45.426 --> 01:18:49.377 AROUND THE WHO'S WHO OF THE WHO'S WHO. YES, I KNOW MOST OF 01:18:49.377 --> 01:18:52.479 THEM. AND PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, WHY DON'T YOU INVITE SO AND SO TO 01:18:52.479 --> 01:18:56.734 THE CHURCH? THEY'RE SO ANOINTED." YEAH, THEY ARE. BUT 01:18:56.734 --> 01:19:00.935 THEY'RE DIRTY, OR THEY'RE SO STINKING PRIDEFUL THEY SUCK THE 01:19:00.935 --> 01:19:04.744 WIND OUT OF EVERY ROOM THEY WALK INTO. AND HECK NO, I'M NOT 01:19:04.744 --> 01:19:10.984 INVITING THEIR PRIDEFUL SELF TO THIS CHURCH. THEY DON'T HAVE 01:19:10.984 --> 01:19:16.864 CHARACTER. OKAY, ONLY FIVE PEOPLE CLAPPED. BUT NOTICE WHAT 01:19:16.864 --> 01:19:20.765 GOD SAID IN VERSE 7. HE SAID, "NOT WITH MY SERVANT MOSES, OF 01:19:20.765 --> 01:19:24.005 ALL MY HOUSE, HE'S THE ONE THAT I TRUST. HE'S THE ONE THAT I 01:19:24.005 --> 01:19:30.095 WHAT? WHOA. HE WAS SAYING, "I DON'T TRUST MIRIAM, 01:19:30.095 --> 01:19:32.914 AND I DON'T TRUST AARON." AND IF YOU'RE CONSTANTLY RUNNING YOUR 01:19:32.914 --> 01:19:36.574 MOUTH OF CRITICISM AND ACTING LIKE YOU KNOW MORE THAN THE 01:19:36.574 --> 01:19:39.095 OTHER PERSON, I'VE HAD PEOPLE COME IN HERE AND THEY'LL SAY, 01:19:39.095 --> 01:19:41.585 "WELL, PASTOR HANK, YOU KNOW, IN MY CHURCH, I WAS THE ONE THAT 01:19:41.585 --> 01:19:45.034 ALWAYS GAVE TONGUES AND INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES ON 01:19:45.034 --> 01:19:49.564 SUNDAY, AND YOU GIVE NO ROOM FOR THAT HERE." I SAID, "OKAY, LET 01:19:49.564 --> 01:19:51.875 ME GET IT STRAIGHT. SO YOU'RE THE ONE THAT GOD SPOKE THE 01:19:51.875 --> 01:19:55.956 TONGUE THROUGH?" "YES." "OH, AND YOU'RE THE ONE THAT INTERPRETED 01:19:55.956 --> 01:20:01.564 IT?" "EVERY SUNDAY." "WOW, YAY YOU." AND I SAID TO HIM, I SAID, 01:20:01.564 --> 01:20:05.585 "THE REASON WHY?" I SAID, "I HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY. I'M NOT 01:20:05.585 --> 01:20:10.625 PASTOR, YOU KNOW, JOHN WALTON OF WALTON MOUNTAIN FAMILY CHURCH. I 01:20:10.625 --> 01:20:13.805 HAVE TENS OF THOUSANDS, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS THAT LISTEN EVERY 01:20:13.805 --> 01:20:17.195 SINGLE WEEK. AND GOD IS SPEAKING SOMETHING GREATER THAN YOU 01:20:17.195 --> 01:20:19.354 WANTING JUST TO GET UP AND GIVE YOUR TONGUE AND YOUR 01:20:19.354 --> 01:20:25.685 INTERPRETATION. AND IF GOD WANTS ME TO YIELD TO YOU, I WOULD. BUT 01:20:25.685 --> 01:20:28.475 YOUR SPIRIT'S OFF. AND I HAVEN'T SEEN THE SINS, BUT ANYWAY, IT'S 01:20:28.475 --> 01:20:32.375 OKAY. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? GOD TRUSTS ME. THAT'S ONE THING I 01:20:32.375 --> 01:20:38.135 CAN TELL YOU, AND I AM NOT PRIDEFUL IN SAYING SO. DOES HE 01:20:38.135 --> 01:20:43.505 TRUST YOU? IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT CHARACTER, HE WON'T TRUST 01:20:43.505 --> 01:20:49.179 YOU. BUT BACK UP, LOOK AT VERSE 6. WHY DID GOD TRUST MOSES? LOOK 01:20:49.179 --> 01:20:53.162 AT WHAT MOSES WAS AFTER. "IF THERE WERE PROPHETS AMONG YOU, I 01:20:53.162 --> 01:20:56.074 THE LORD WOULD REVEAL MYSELF IN VISIONS, AND I WOULD SPEAK TO 01:20:56.074 --> 01:20:58.838 THEM IN DREAMS." AND THEN GOD SAID, KEEP GOING, WHAT DOES HE 01:20:58.838 --> 01:21:02.524 SAY IN VERSE 7? BUT NOT WITH MY SERVANT MOSES, ALL OF MY HOUSE, 01:21:02.524 --> 01:21:05.104 HE'S THE ONE I TRUST. OKAY, LOOK AT VERSE 8. WHY? WHY DOES HE 01:21:05.104 --> 01:21:12.335 TRUST HIM? I SPEAK TO HIM FACE TO FACE. CLEARLY, BECAUSE MOSES 01:21:12.335 --> 01:21:17.494 WAS AFTER THE GREATEST THING THAT YOU CAN GO AFTER. IT'S THE 01:21:17.494 --> 01:21:22.555 HEART OF GOD AND HIS FACE. IT'S NOT THAT GOD SPEAKS TO ME AND 01:21:22.555 --> 01:21:27.055 I'M THIS GREAT PROPHETIC VOICE AND LEADER. GOD'S NOT IMPRESSED. 01:21:27.055 --> 01:21:32.546 HE DOESN'T TRUST YOU. HE TRUSTS YOU. YOU KNOW WHY? HE TRUSTS YOU 01:21:32.546 --> 01:21:37.555 WITH HIS WORDS BECAUSE YOU STEWARD OVER HIS HEART. THAT'S 01:21:37.555 --> 01:21:40.615 WHY I DON'T SHARE EVERYTHING I KNOW OR FEEL. I DON'T TRY TO 01:21:40.615 --> 01:21:45.355 PUSH FOR A GIFT. I'M NOT TRYING TO BE ANYTHING. NEITHER SHOULD 01:21:45.355 --> 01:21:51.926 YOU. GO AFTER HIS HEART. GO AFTER HIS FACE. THAT'S WHAT 01:21:51.926 --> 01:21:56.155 CAUSED MOSES TO SUCCEED. AMEN. ALRIGHT, NOW I WANT YOU TO LOOK 01:21:56.155 --> 01:21:59.635 HERE. LOOK AT ACTS 13:22. I'M GOING TO WIND THIS DOWN. I'M 01:21:59.635 --> 01:22:04.975 GOING TO CLOSE THIS UP. ACTS 13:22. IT SAYS, "AND WHEN HE 01:22:04.975 --> 01:22:08.275 REMOVED HIM, HE RAISED HIM UP FOR THEM DAVID, A KING, TO WHOM 01:22:08.275 --> 01:22:12.506 ALSO HE GAVE TESTIMONY AND SAID, 'I FOUND WHO? DAVID, THE SON OF 01:22:12.506 --> 01:22:18.416 JESSE, A MAN AFTER MY WHAT? MY OWN HEART.'" NOW, WHAT HAPPENED 01:22:18.416 --> 01:22:23.576 WITH DAVID? WHO WROTE MOST OF THE PSALMS? DAVID. AND THOSE 01:22:23.576 --> 01:22:28.615 PSALMS ARE WHAT? PROPHETIC. WHY DID GOD SPEAK THOSE PRECIOUS 01:22:28.615 --> 01:22:33.655 WORDS TO DAVID, A PSALMIST? BECAUSE HE WAS AFTER HIS WHAT? 01:22:33.655 --> 01:22:39.055 HIS HEART. YOU GO AFTER GOD'S HEART, YOU GET HIS SECRETS. YOU 01:22:39.055 --> 01:22:44.336 GET MOUTH TO MOUTH REVELATION, INFORMATION. ARE YOU LISTENING? 01:22:44.336 --> 01:22:51.296 HE TRUSTS YOU. NOW, HERE'S THE THING. WHEN YOU GET GOD'S HEART, 01:22:51.296 --> 01:22:55.256 REMEMBER, HE SHARES HIS SECRET. WHAT'S HIS SECRET? I BELIEVE 01:22:55.256 --> 01:22:59.395 IT'S HIS HEART. BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE SECRET COMES FROM. AND 01:22:59.395 --> 01:23:03.235 WHEN YOU STEWARD OVER HIS HEART, AND YOU DON'T JUST GO AROUND AND 01:23:03.235 --> 01:23:09.355 BE, YOU KNOW, PROPHETIC BLABBERMOUTH OF ALL YOUR DREAMS 01:23:09.355 --> 01:23:13.105 AND REVELATIONS. MAN, I REMEMBER BEFORE I WAS PASTOR OF A CHURCH, 01:23:13.105 --> 01:23:15.836 I'D GO, I WAS YOUNGER THEN, AND PEOPLE WOULD COME UP AND THEY 01:23:15.836 --> 01:23:19.286 ALWAYS HAD A DREAM, ALWAYS HAD A VISION. I'M LIKE, "NO, YOU DID 01:23:19.286 --> 01:23:23.845 NOT." BECAUSE MOST OF THE TIME I'M ASKING GOD, "COME ON GOD, I 01:23:23.845 --> 01:23:28.225 WANT YOU TO SPEAK TO ME, MAN." NOW, THERE'S TIMES WHERE IT 01:23:28.225 --> 01:23:30.326 COMES IN SEASONS WHERE I HAVE DREAMS ALL THE TIME. AND THERE'S 01:23:30.326 --> 01:23:37.615 OTHER TIMES I'M LIKE, "UH, WHAT UP?" OKAY, YOU EVER HAD THAT? 01:23:37.615 --> 01:23:42.025 OKAY, BUT MAKE IT YOUR HEART AND GOD WILL REVEAL HIS SECRET. BUT 01:23:42.025 --> 01:23:46.435 HERE'S THE THING, THE REASON HE TRUSTS YOU OR DON'T TRUST YOU IS 01:23:46.435 --> 01:23:49.886 CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET. THAT'S WHY PROPHETS IN THE OLD 01:23:49.886 --> 01:23:53.305 TESTAMENT HAD TO HOLD ON TO THE WORD OF THE LORD. YOU GOT TO 01:23:53.305 --> 01:23:58.256 HOLD ON TO WHAT GOD TELLS YOU AND KNOW WHEN TO SHARE IT. AND 01:23:58.256 --> 01:24:00.685 GOD'S SO GRACIOUS, HE'LL WORK WITH YOU. BUT HERE'S THE THING, 01:24:00.685 --> 01:24:03.685 OKAY, NOW LOOK AT REVELATION 1. WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE WITH THESE 01:24:03.685 --> 01:24:07.945 TWO SCRIPTURES. REVELATION 1:16-17. SO NOW JOHN IS CAUGHT 01:24:07.945 --> 01:24:11.876 UP AND HE'S DESCRIBING, HE'S DESCRIBING JESUS. HE HAD IN HIS 01:24:11.876 --> 01:24:14.695 RIGHT HAND SEVEN STARS, OUT OF HIS MOUTH WAS A SHARP TWO-EDGED 01:24:14.695 --> 01:24:18.386 SWORD AND HIS COUNTENANCE WAS LIKE, OR HIS FACE, I LIKE THE 01:24:18.386 --> 01:24:22.315 ONE WORD, PUT IT IN THE KING JAMES IF THEY COULD. HIS FACE, 01:24:22.315 --> 01:24:27.445 HIS FACE, I WANT THEM TO SEE THE WORD FACE. HIS FACE WAS LIKE THE 01:24:27.445 --> 01:24:35.036 SUN, SHINING IN ITS STRENGTH. WHAT WAS HE LOOKING AT? HE WAS 01:24:35.036 --> 01:24:42.416 LOOKING AT HIS FACE. NOW, GO TO VERSE 17. WHAT HAPPENED? VERSE 01:24:42.416 --> 01:24:48.386 17. "AND WHEN I SAW HIM, I FELL AT HIS FEET AS IF I WAS DEAD." 01:24:50.155 --> 01:24:57.296 WHAT DID HE SEE? HIS FACE. NOW, NOTICE HE FELL AT HIS FEET. WHY 01:24:57.296 --> 01:24:59.725 DID HE FALL AT HIS FEET? BECAUSE THAT IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF 01:24:59.725 --> 01:25:05.036 WORSHIP. WHEN WE, OFTEN TIMES, AND I GET CONVICTED OF THIS TOO, 01:25:05.036 --> 01:25:09.836 I WORSHIP YOU. YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD WORSHIP HANK. BUT THE 01:25:09.836 --> 01:25:14.546 HIGHEST FORM IS IF YOU BOW DOWN AND YOU WORSHIP AS IF TO KISS 01:25:14.546 --> 01:25:18.055 THE GROUND. WHEN JESUS TALKED TO THE WOMAN AT THE WELL IN JOHN 4, 01:25:18.055 --> 01:25:23.576 HE SAID, "WOMAN, NOW IS THE TIME. AND NOW IS THAT THE TRUE 01:25:23.576 --> 01:25:26.845 WORSHIPPERS SHALL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH." 01:25:26.845 --> 01:25:29.006 YOU KNOW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT, TRUE WORSHIPPERS? TRUE 01:25:29.006 --> 01:25:33.176 WORSHIPPERS WERE THE ONES THAT BOWED DOWN AS LOW AS THEY CAN IN 01:25:33.176 --> 01:25:37.345 HUMILITY AND HONOR TO GOD, AS IF TO KISS THE GROUND. WHAT DID 01:25:37.345 --> 01:25:40.796 SATAN SAY TO JESUS? "IF YOU BE THE SON OF GOD, STAND THERE AND 01:25:40.796 --> 01:25:44.996 WORSHIP ME." COME ON, HE KNEW WHAT TRUE WORSHIP WAS BECAUSE HE 01:25:44.996 --> 01:25:50.006 USED TO BE OVER IT. HE WOULD SAY, "BOW DOWN, KISS MY FEET," 01:25:50.006 --> 01:25:56.426 IS WHAT HE WAS SAYING, "AND WORSHIP ME." SO, WHAT'S THE KEY 01:25:56.426 --> 01:26:00.595 WHEN YOU SEE GOD'S FACE OR HOW DO YOU GET GOD TO SHOW HIS FACE? 01:26:00.595 --> 01:26:04.105 THEN THAT MEANS HE OPENS HIS SECRET, HE OPENS HIS HEART. NOW 01:26:04.105 --> 01:26:09.235 ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU BECOME INUNDATED WITH THE REVELATION OF 01:26:09.235 --> 01:26:12.926 DREAMS AND VISIONS, THE WORD OF THE LORD. IT HAS TO COME FROM A 01:26:12.926 --> 01:26:19.676 PLACE OF WORSHIP. UP YOUR WORSHIP. UP YOUR INTIMACY. GET 01:26:19.676 --> 01:26:23.725 YOUR FOCUS OFF OF YOUR DREAMS, YOUR VISIONS, YOU, YOUR GIFT, 01:26:23.725 --> 01:26:28.286 WHY THE PASTOR DOESN'T RECOGNIZE YOU OR SHOULD RECOGNIZE YOU. I 01:26:28.286 --> 01:26:31.796 HAVE THIS WORD, I HAVE THIS CALL, AND PUT IT BACK ON THE 01:26:31.796 --> 01:26:35.216 FACE OF GOD. YOU KNOW WHY I'M STANDING HERE TODAY? AND BRENDA 01:26:35.216 --> 01:26:38.426 I KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING BECAUSE I GOT A TEXT FROM YOU. SHE WAS 01:26:38.426 --> 01:26:41.515 SAYING GREAT WORD, THANK YOU. BUT HERE'S THE POINT. THE POINT 01:26:41.515 --> 01:26:44.690 IS THIS. BRENDA YOU AND I KNOW WE WERE NOT SEEKING OUR CALLING. 01:26:46.796 --> 01:26:50.515 WHEN WE TRIED IN THE EARLY YEARS IT DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE. TRYING TO 01:26:50.515 --> 01:26:56.546 MAKE THE CALLING HAPPEN. WE ADJUSTED AND MADE IT ABOUT GOD. 01:26:56.546 --> 01:27:00.086 I WANT YOUR FACE. AND WHEN THERE WERE NO MEETINGS AND NOBODY WAS 01:27:00.086 --> 01:27:03.746 ASKING US TO COME AND THEY WERE STAYING AWAY BY THE MILLIONS. WE 01:27:03.746 --> 01:27:06.025 WOULD GET A LITTLE KEYBOARD OUT AND BRENDA COULD PLAY THE 01:27:06.025 --> 01:27:08.815 KEYBOARD AND WE WOULD WORSHIP AND MATTHEW YOU WOULD GET YOUR 01:27:08.815 --> 01:27:12.595 LITTLE SWORD OUT AND A PLASTIC SWORD AND WE WOULD WORSHIP GOD 01:27:12.595 --> 01:27:16.765 AND DANCE. CHRISTY WOULD DO THAT AND SHE WOULD MAKE UP SONGS. 01:27:16.765 --> 01:27:22.735 OKAY, NOW NOTICE WHAT HAPPENS. OKAY, VERSE 16, SAW HIS FACE. 01:27:22.735 --> 01:27:25.826 WHAT DID HE IMMEDIATELY DO? FALL DOWN AND BEGIN TO WORSHIP. NOW, 01:27:25.826 --> 01:27:31.645 WHAT'S THE THING THAT FOLLOWED? HEART TO HEART, FACE TO FACE, 01:27:31.645 --> 01:27:34.076 AND THEN MOUTH TO MOUTH. WATCH THE NEXT THING. LOOK AT VERSE 01:27:34.076 --> 01:27:40.376 19. WHAT HAPPENED? NOTICE THE INSTRUCTION, VERSE 19. WRITE THE 01:27:40.376 --> 01:27:44.756 THINGS NOW THAT YOU HAVE SEEN, AND THE THINGS WHICH ARE, AND 01:27:44.756 --> 01:27:47.275 THE THINGS WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE AFTER THIS. IN OTHER WORDS, THE 01:27:47.275 --> 01:27:52.615 REVELATORY REALM INCREASED. RIGHT? BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. 01:27:52.615 --> 01:27:57.595 THIS WAS NOT THE INSTRUCTION UNTIL HE SAW HIS FACE AND 01:27:57.595 --> 01:28:01.315 WORSHIPPED HIM. PEOPLE WONDER WHY. "I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE GOD 01:28:01.315 --> 01:28:06.805 SPEAK TO ME. I DON'T SEEM TO BE HEARING GOD ANYMORE." UP. UP 01:28:06.805 --> 01:28:09.895 YOUR CONNECTION OR RECONNECT YOUR POWER SOURCE. GO AHEAD AND 01:28:09.895 --> 01:28:13.886 STAND ON YOUR FEET. REVELATION 4. LET'S GO BACK THERE. WE 01:28:13.886 --> 01:28:17.695 STARTED WITH THIS VERSE. WATCH THIS. REVELATION 4:1. I'M JUST 01:28:17.695 --> 01:28:20.305 GOING TO CLOSE IT HERE AND I'M GOING TO LET YOU GO. "AFTER 01:28:20.305 --> 01:28:23.786 THESE THINGS I LOOKED, AND BEHOLD, A DOOR STANDING OPEN IN 01:28:23.786 --> 01:28:26.216 HEAVEN. AND THE FIRST VOICE WHICH I HEARD WAS LIKE A 01:28:26.216 --> 01:28:29.095 TRUMPET, SPOKE WITH ME, SAYING, 'COME UP HERE, AND I'LL SHOW YOU 01:28:29.095 --> 01:28:31.256 THINGS WHICH MUST COME HEREAFTER.'" LOOK AT VERSE 2. 01:28:32.275 --> 01:28:35.095 "IMMEDIATELY I WAS IN THE SPIRIT, AND BEHOLD, A THRONE WAS 01:28:35.095 --> 01:28:39.895 SET IN HEAVEN." AND WATCH THIS. "ONE SAT ON THE THRONE, AND HE 01:28:39.895 --> 01:28:42.655 WAS LIKE A JASPER, AND A SARDIUS STONE IN HIS APPEARANCE, 01:28:42.655 --> 01:28:44.323 AND THERE WAS A RAINBOW AROUND THE 01:28:44.323 --> 01:28:48.025 THRONE, IN APPEARANCE LIKE AN EMERALD. AND 01:28:48.025 --> 01:28:51.416 THE THRONE WAS 24 THRONES, AND I SAW 24 ELDERS SITTING IN THEIR 01:28:51.416 --> 01:28:54.565 CLOTHES AND WHITE ROBES, AND THEY HAD CROWNS OF GOLD ON THEIR 01:28:54.565 --> 01:28:57.506 HEADS." SO HE'S DESCRIBING NOW HIS HEAVENLY EXPERIENCE WHEN HE 01:28:57.506 --> 01:29:03.206 GOT CAUGHT UP. BUT ULTIMATELY WHAT YOU COULD SAY, WE USE THE 01:29:03.206 --> 01:29:08.515 WORD, WRECKED JOHN. IT WASN'T HIS WORDS, IT WASN'T ALL THE 01:29:08.515 --> 01:29:11.395 THINGS THAT HE SAW THAT WE'RE STILL ARGUING OVER PRE-TRIB, 01:29:11.395 --> 01:29:15.416 MID-TRIB, RIGHT? PRE-RAPTURE, POST-RAPTURE, IS THERE GOING TO 01:29:15.416 --> 01:29:18.926 BE A RAPTURE, RIGHT? WE LOOK AT ALL OF THIS STUFF IN THE BOOK OF 01:29:18.926 --> 01:29:21.805 REVELATION, WE ARGUE IT OVER AND ALL THAT, ALL THE THINGS THAT 01:29:21.805 --> 01:29:26.126 JOHN SAW. IF YOU READ THE BOOK OF REVELATION, IT'S THE 01:29:26.126 --> 01:29:30.145 TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST. IT ISN'T THE ANTICHRIST, IT'S NOT 01:29:30.145 --> 01:29:33.145 THE BEAST, IT'S NOT ALL OF THOSE THINGS, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE 01:29:33.145 --> 01:29:38.126 MENTIONED, IT'S ABOUT JESUS. AND THAT HAS TO BE YOUR FOCUS OR 01:29:38.126 --> 01:29:40.975 YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO GO HIGHER, AND YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO COME 01:29:40.975 --> 01:29:44.996 INTO A REVELATORY REALM WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THINGS, HEAR 01:29:44.996 --> 01:29:49.886 THINGS, KNOW THINGS, SENSE THINGS, PROPHESY THINGS. 01:29:49.886 --> 01:29:52.225 ALRIGHT? SO I WANT YOU TO DO THIS, EVERYBODY THAT'S WATCHING 01:29:52.225 --> 01:29:55.256 AND CLOSING, JUST IMAGINE THIS BEING A POWER CORD. AND I WANT 01:29:55.256 --> 01:29:59.039 YOU JUST TO PLUG IT UP TO HEAVEN, KIND OF REACH IT UP AND 01:29:59.039 --> 01:30:02.576 SAY, "LORD, I'M GOING TO PLUG IN DEEPER. I'M GOING TO SEEK YOUR 01:30:02.576 --> 01:30:10.496 HEART. I'M GOING TO SEEK YOUR FACE. I WANT YOU. I WANT YOU. 01:30:10.496 --> 01:30:17.216 REVEAL YOURSELF TO ME. I WILL SEEK YOU. AND YOU PROMISED I 01:30:17.216 --> 01:30:21.716 WOULD FIND YOU. AMEN. ALL RIGHT, WELL, GIVE EACH OTHER A HIGH 01:30:21.716 --> 01:30:26.546 FIVE. I'LL SEE YOU, WHEN WILL I SEE YOU? I'LL SEE YOU ON SUNDAY. 01:30:26.546 --> 01:30:28.176 ALL RIGHT, GOD BLESS YOU. I HOPE YOU GOT SOMETHING 01:30:28.176 --> 01:30:29.595 OUT OF THIS. GIVE A HIGH FIVE TO SOMEBODY 01:30:29.595 --> 01:30:31.264 AROUND YOU. CALL YOU BLESSED. THANKS. 01:30:31.297 --> 01:30:32.966 (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) 01:30:32.998 --> 01:30:37.015 - WELL, AMEN, AMEN. HOW MANY RECEIVED FROM THAT POWERFUL 01:30:37.015 --> 01:30:41.845 WORD BY PASTOR HANK TONIGHT? AMEN. WAS THAT A GOOD WORD? I AM 01:30:41.845 --> 01:30:46.105 JUST EXCITED BECAUSE I KNOW YOU CAN JUST FEEL IT OF THE SEASON 01:30:46.105 --> 01:30:51.235 THAT WE'RE STEPPING INTO. WE'RE ENDING A CYCLE, A CYCLE OF 01:30:51.235 --> 01:30:56.636 CONFLICT, A CYCLE OF DELAY, A CYCLE OF PERHAPS MAYBE THERE'S 01:30:56.636 --> 01:30:59.695 THINGS THAT YOU'RE BELIEVING FOR. WE'RE COMING INTO A NEW 01:30:59.695 --> 01:31:03.176 CYCLE, FOLKS. AND IT'S JUST LIKE PASTOR HANK WAS SAYING, THIS IS 01:31:03.176 --> 01:31:09.716 NOT A CYCLE OF TRIBULATION, BUT THIS IS A CYCLE OF THE NEW. WHAT 01:31:09.716 --> 01:31:12.746 WAS IT? THE THREE THINGS THAT ARE GONNA BE INCREASING IN THIS 01:31:12.746 --> 01:31:16.916 SEASON, THE OUTPOURING OF HIS GLORY, WE'RE GONNA SEE SIGNS, 01:31:16.916 --> 01:31:21.326 WONDERS, AND MIRACLES, AND WE'RE GONNA SEE INCREASE IN THE SPIRIT 01:31:21.326 --> 01:31:27.351 OF PROPHECY.

WE CAN PURSUE HIM LIKE NEVER BEFORE 01:31:49.731 --> 01:31:52.792 IN ALL THAT WE'RE DOING. AND PERHAPS THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT 01:31:52.792 --> 01:31:56.091 MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING BACK TOWARDS, SAYING, "MAN, I WONDER 01:31:56.091 --> 01:32:02.242 IF..." I CHALLENGE YOU, NO MORE. NO MORE, I WONDER. NO MORE, WHAT 01:32:02.242 --> 01:32:07.761 IF? NO MORE, WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN?
